What 99348 covers

This visit covers an established patient seen where they live: a private home, apartment, assisted living facility, group home, or another residence outside a skilled nursing or nursing facility. Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants in house-call, home-based primary care, and geriatric practices typically report it. They may assess an uncomplicated acute illness, review pertinent information, and discuss a low-risk treatment plan with the patient or caregiver. The diagnosis alone does not establish the visit level.

Select 99348 when at least two of the three medical decision-making elements—problems, data, and risk—support low MDM, or when total practitioner time on the visit date reaches at least 30 minutes. If a higher time threshold is met, select the level supported by that time instead. Travel to and from the residence does not count. Documentation should identify the residence setting, clinically appropriate history and exam, problems addressed, pertinent data, and management plan, or support the time reported. Medicare does not require the patient to be homebound for a practitioner home visit. The place of service code identifies the residence type.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

99348 billing questions

When should 99348 be chosen over 99349?

Choose 99348 for low MDM or at least 30 minutes when selecting by time. Choose 99349 for moderate MDM or at least 40 minutes; moderate MDM requires two qualifying moderate elements.

Can this code be used for patients living in assisted living facilities?

Yes. Visits in assisted living, group homes, and similar residences are reported with the home or residence E/M series, using the appropriate place of service.

Does travel time count toward the 30 minutes?

No. Count the reporting practitioner's qualifying time spent on the patient's care on the visit date, such as reviewing records, examining, counseling, ordering, and documenting. Exclude time driving to or from the residence.

Can 99348 be reported for a resident of a skilled nursing or nursing facility?

No. Use the appropriate nursing facility E/M code, such as a subsequent nursing facility visit code from 99307-99310, rather than the home or residence series.

What makes a patient established for this code?

The patient received professional services within the past three years from the same practitioner or another practitioner of the same specialty and subspecialty in the same group. Otherwise, consider a new-patient home visit code such as 99342 when its level criteria are met.

What documentation supports low medical decision making?

Document the problems addressed, any data reviewed or analyzed, and management decisions so that at least two of the three MDM elements support the low level. A diagnosis by itself does not establish low MDM.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
