What 99495 covers

This service covers a practitioner's management of a patient returning to a community setting after an inpatient hospital stay, observation, skilled nursing facility stay, inpatient rehabilitation, or partial hospitalization. The 30-day period begins on the discharge date. The practice must make interactive contact with the patient or caregiver within two business days. A face-to-face visit must occur within 14 calendar days; medication reconciliation must occur by that visit. Other work may include reviewing discharge records, following up on pending tests, arranging referrals, and educating the family. Primary care physicians, NPs, and PAs commonly report the service, with clinical staff helping with outreach.

Select 99495 when medical decision making is at least moderate and the visit occurs within 14 calendar days; high-complexity decision making with a visit within seven days instead meets the timing and complexity criteria for 99496. Document the discharge date, timely contact or contact attempts, visit date, medication reconciliation, and decision making. Only one practitioner reports transitional care management for a patient's 30-day period, once per period. The required face-to-face visit is included rather than billed as a separate E/M visit.
