CPT code 99395: Preventive visit, established, age 18-392026 Medicare rate & RVUs

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

What 99395 covers

The service is a comprehensive preventive medicine reevaluation for an established patient age 18 through 39. A physician or other qualified clinician typically reports it in primary care or another outpatient setting for an adult wellness examination. It includes an age- and sex-appropriate history and examination, counseling about health risks and preventive care, and planning for appropriate screening or other preventive services. Selection depends on established-patient status and age range, not on a specific complaint or body system.

Medicare classifies this service as not covered, status N, and does not pay for the visit under this code. Report the code for the preventive service itself; a separately identifiable evaluation and management service for a problem may be reported when supported by documentation, with modifier 25 on the problem-oriented E/M code when appropriate.
