What G0506 covers
G0506 represents in-depth assessment and care planning for a patient with chronic conditions who is starting chronic care management. A physician or other qualified health professional may review the patient’s health problems, medications, functional needs, and supports, then establish an individualized plan for ongoing care. The work goes beyond the assessment and planning ordinarily included in the associated evaluation and management service.
Report G0506 as an add-on with the primary E/M procedure; it is not a stand-alone service. The record should show the chronic care needs assessed, the planning performed, and how that work exceeded the routine E/M. CMS pays the add-on within the primary procedure’s global period. G0506 describes the comprehensive planning work, not the recurring monthly management service; report a monthly CCM code only when its own requirements are met.
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.

G0506 billing questions
When should G0506 be chosen instead of reporting only the E/M service?
Use it when the physician or qualified health professional performs extensive chronic care assessment and planning beyond the work ordinarily included in the E/M service. Routine discussion of chronic conditions during an office visit alone does not establish that additional work.
What primary service must accompany G0506?
G0506 is an add-on and must be reported with a primary E/M procedure. CMS pays it within that primary procedure’s global period.
Does G0506 represent the monthly CCM service?
No. It represents comprehensive assessment and care planning, not recurring monthly management. A monthly CCM code requires its own qualifying work and documentation.
What documentation supports G0506?
Document the chronic care needs assessed, the individualized planning performed, and why that work went beyond the associated E/M service. A care plan should reflect the patient’s conditions and care needs rather than a routine problem list alone.
Can G0506 be reported with an office E/M code?
Yes, it is reported as an add-on to a qualifying primary E/M service. Examples include office E/M codes 99214 and 99215; the record must support the additional comprehensive planning work.
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.
