What 99474 covers
This service covers review of a patient’s self-measured blood pressure readings over 30 days, reporting the average systolic and diastolic pressures, and communicating a treatment plan. It is commonly used in outpatient hypertension care when a clinician needs home readings to assess blood pressure control or guide management. The patient or caregiver takes the readings at home; the treating physician or other qualified health care professional reviews the data and communicates the plan.
Report the service for the 30-day monitoring period, not for each individual reading. Documentation should support the monitoring period, the required pattern of at least two readings daily, the calculated averages, and communication of the treatment plan to the patient. The Medicare Physician Fee Schedule assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice values to the service, with office and facility practice-expense values reported separately. The code represents the monitoring review and communication work for the period.
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.

99474 billing questions
How is this different from 99473?
99473 covers patient education and device setup. This code covers review and reporting of the readings, including averages and communication of a treatment plan.
Do individual blood pressure readings count as separate units?
No. The service is reported for the 30-day monitoring period, which requires at least two readings daily; it is not reported once per reading.
What documentation supports reporting this service?
Record the monitoring period, the daily readings, the systolic and diastolic averages, and how and when the treatment plan was communicated to the patient.
Can this be used instead of remote physiologic monitoring?
It is specific to self-measured blood pressure monitoring and its 30-day reading and treatment-plan requirements. Remote physiologic monitoring codes describe a different service structure.
Does the service include communicating a treatment plan?
Yes. Communication of a treatment plan based on the reported average pressures is part of the service.
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.
