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

What G0182 covers

G0182 covers a physician’s supervision of a patient receiving hospice care. The work may include developing or revising the treatment plan, reviewing hospice status reports and related studies, and communicating with hospice clinicians, family members, or caregivers to make care decisions. It is generally non-face-to-face physician work rather than a hospice team service or a patient visit.

Report one unit for a calendar month when the physician’s qualifying supervision work reaches at least 30 minutes. Documentation should identify the month, the physician’s time, and the specific plan review, clinical information reviewed, and care coordination performed. Routine hospice activities or staff time alone do not establish the physician’s qualifying work. CMS assigns the code physician fee schedule values for work, practice expense, and malpractice; the applicable payment is reflected in the fee schedule.
