Check a contract rate as a % of Medicare · G0299 nationwide

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

What G0299 covers

G0299 identifies direct skilled nursing provided by a registered nurse in a home health or hospice setting. It describes the nursing service in 15-minute increments, not a whole visit. The code distinguishes RN services from direct nursing provided by an LPN or LVN, which is reported with G0300. Home health and hospice billing teams use the code to identify the RN discipline and the time attributable to that direct skilled service.

Medicare assigns physician fee schedule status X: the service is not a physician service under the Medicare statute, so the physician fee schedule does not pay it. The HCPCS pricing designation says it is not separately priced by Medicare Part B. Coverage is left to the Medicare contractor’s judgment; when covered, payment is under another fee schedule or payment system. Each unit represents 15 minutes of direct RN service.
