What 99484 covers

99484 covers ongoing integration of behavioral health care into a patient’s medical care. A physician or other qualified health professional directs the service, while clinical staff may perform the care-management work. Typical situations include supporting a primary care patient being treated for depression or anxiety through monitoring, care planning, and coordination with behavioral health services. The work can take place in an office-based practice or another setting where the patient’s medical care is managed.

Report the code once for a calendar month in which the required clinical-staff time is met; it is not reported per call or contact. Documentation should identify the behavioral or psychiatric condition, assessment or monitoring, care-planning and coordination work, total time, and clinician direction. Assessment, care planning, treatment coordination, and continuity activities are parts of this monthly service, rather than separate units of 99484. CMS assigns the code physician work and practice-expense values, with different practice-expense inputs for office and facility settings.

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.

99484 billing questions

How is 99484 different from 99492 or 99493?

99484 represents general behavioral health integration. Use 99492 or 99493 when the service follows the structured psychiatric collaborative care model, with its defined team and care-management approach.

What time counts toward 99484?

Count clinical-staff time spent on the qualifying behavioral health care-management work during the calendar month, under physician or qualified health professional direction. Report the code only when the monthly minimum is met.

Can 99484 be reported for each phone call or care-plan update?

No. It represents the qualifying monthly service, not a separate claim unit for each contact or activity.

What documentation supports the service?

Document the behavioral or psychiatric condition, assessment or monitoring, care planning and coordination performed, the clinical-staff time for the month, and physician or qualified health professional direction.

Are assessment, care planning, and coordination separately reported?

They are elements of the 99484 monthly service. Do not treat those included activities as separate units of this code.

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.
