Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 99349 covers

This visit covers evaluation and management of an established patient in a private home or another residence, such as an assisted living facility or group home, rather than a nursing facility. Physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants commonly perform these visits in house-call and home-based primary care programs. Patients may have limited mobility and several chronic conditions, such as heart failure, diabetes, or COPD, requiring assessment of a worsening problem or a medication change.

Select this level by moderate medical decision making or at least 40 minutes of the reporting practitioner’s qualifying time on the visit date. For decision making, document the problems addressed, relevant data reviewed, and management risk; two of those three elements must support the level. For time-based selection, record total minutes, including qualifying non-face-to-face work that day but excluding travel, staff time, and separately billed services. The former domiciliary and rest home visit settings are included in this home or residence visit family. Report the place of service that identifies where the patient was seen.

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.
