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

What 99422 covers

This code covers a patient-initiated, asynchronous evaluation and management service handled through a secure online channel, such as a patient portal. A physician or other qualified health professional reviews the patient’s request and relevant record, evaluates the issue, and responds with management advice or orders as appropriate. It is used for established patients whose concern can be addressed without a real-time office, phone, or video visit.

Report the code once for the physician’s or qualified health professional’s cumulative service time of 11–20 minutes during the seven-day period. Time may include reviewing the request and record, assessment and management, and communicating the response; clinical staff time is not the provider time counted for this service. Keep the patient’s request, clinical assessment, response, dates, and time accounting in the record. The service is not separately reported when it arises from a related E/M service in the preceding seven days or leads to an E/M service within 24 hours or the soonest available appointment; in those circumstances, its work is part of that service.
