What 99380 covers

CPT 99380 identifies physician care-plan oversight for a patient receiving care in a nursing facility. The physician performs supervision and coordination work outside a face-to-face visit with the resident, addressing the patient’s ongoing care during the month. It is distinct from an in-person nursing-facility evaluation and management service; the code is selected for nursing-facility care oversight rather than home-health or hospice oversight.

The code represents 30 minutes or more of qualifying work in a calendar month; 99379 is the shorter-time nursing-facility sibling. Medicare assigns 99380 physician fee schedule status B, so Medicare never pays it separately and includes its payment in payment for other services. Report the monthly service based on the time spent on nursing-facility care supervision. The code belongs to CPT Category I.
