What 99379 covers

This code describes monthly oversight of a nursing facility patient whose care involves complex, multidisciplinary services. The physician reviews reports and relevant test results, communicates with members of the care team or family about assessment and care decisions, incorporates new information into the treatment plan, and adjusts management as needed. The work is care coordination rather than a face-to-face nursing facility visit, and it is reported by the physician providing the oversight.

The time threshold is 15 through 29 minutes of qualifying oversight during a calendar month. Medicare assigns this code physician fee schedule status B: it is bundled, and Medicare never pays it separately because its payment is included in payment for other services.

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.

99379 billing questions

When should 99379 be chosen instead of 99380?

Use 99379 for 15-29 minutes of qualifying nursing facility oversight in the calendar month. Code 99380 is the sibling for 30 minutes or more.

Does Medicare pay 99379 separately?

No. Medicare assigns status B, meaning the service is bundled and never paid separately; its payment is included in payment for other services.

What work and time should the record support?

Document the nursing facility care coordination performed, such as reviewing status reports or studies, communicating about care decisions, and updating management. The qualifying work must total 15-29 minutes during the calendar month.

Is 99379 a face-to-face nursing facility visit?

No. It represents monthly care plan oversight and coordination, not an in-person nursing facility evaluation and management visit.

How does 99379 differ from home health or hospice oversight?

99379 is for oversight of a nursing facility patient. Codes 99374-99375 concern home health care, while 99377-99378 concern hospice care.

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.
