What 99350 covers

Established patients may be seen in a private home or residential setting, including assisted living, a group home, or a domiciliary or rest home. The separate domiciliary visit series was folded into the home or residence codes in 2023. House-call physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants may evaluate worsening heart failure or COPD and consider escalation to hospital care. A diagnosis or residence alone does not establish high medical decision making.

Select 99350 when the visit supports high medical decision making or the billing physician or qualified health care professional spends at least 60 minutes on the service date. For decision making, document the problems addressed, data reviewed, and management risk; two of these three elements must support the selected level. For time, record the total and work performed, such as same-day record review, counseling, care coordination, and documentation. Exclude travel and time spent on separately billed services. Medicare pays the qualifying visit under the physician fee schedule. If selection is based on time and Medicare’s additional-time threshold is met, G0318 may be reported with 99350. Homebound status is not required.

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.

99350 billing questions

When should 99350 be chosen over 99349?

Use 99350 for high medical decision making or at least 60 minutes of qualifying clinician time. Use 99349 for moderate medical decision making or at least 40 minutes when 99350 criteria are not met.

Can this code be reported for a visit in an assisted living facility?

Yes. Home or residence codes cover assisted living, group homes, and domiciliary or rest homes; report the place of service that reflects the actual location. Visits to residents of skilled or long-term nursing facilities use the applicable nursing facility E/M codes instead.

How is prolonged time reported with 99350 for Medicare?

When 99350 is selected by time and Medicare’s prolonged-service threshold is met, report G0318 with 99350 rather than 99417. For non-Medicare claims, 99417 may be used when CPT prolonged-service criteria are met.

Does the patient have to be homebound for Medicare to cover 99350?

No. The homebound requirement for the Medicare home health benefit is not a requirement for a practitioner home visit billed under the physician fee schedule.

What time counts toward the 60-minute threshold?

Count the billing clinician’s qualifying work on the visit date, including record review, counseling, ordering, and care coordination. Do not count travel, staff time, or time spent on separately billed services.

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.
