What G0078 covers

G0078 represents a care-management home visit for a new patient, with 45 minutes as its time designation. The service takes place in the patient’s home and focuses on care-management work during the visit. It is distinct from an office encounter and from other home-visit levels that specify a different patient category or duration.

Report G0078 when the record supports the new-patient category, home setting, care-management service, and 45-minute level. Documentation should identify the care needs addressed, the work performed during the visit, and the time supporting the selected level. CMS assigns relative value units for physician work, practice expense, and malpractice; the practice-expense valuation includes 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.

G0078 billing questions

How does G0078 differ from G0077?

Both describe new-patient care-management home visits, but G0077 is the 30-minute level and G0078 is the 45-minute level. Choose the level supported by the documented service time.

How does G0078 differ from G0083?

G0078 is for a new patient; G0083 is the 45-minute care-management home-visit level for an established patient.

What should the record show?

Document the home setting, the patient’s new-patient status, the care-management needs addressed, the work performed, and time supporting the 45-minute level.

Does G0078 describe an office visit?

No. Its descriptor identifies a care-management home visit. An office-based service does not match that setting.

Can G0078 be selected just because the appointment lasted 45 minutes?

The code also identifies a new-patient care-management home visit. The record should support the service type and patient category as well as the time level.

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.
