What G2002 covers

G2002 identifies a post-discharge home visit for a new patient at the 30-minute level. The clinician evaluates the patient in the home following an inpatient discharge; the encounter is distinct from a routine office follow-up. Physicians and other qualified practitioners who provide evaluation and management care may furnish this type of visit in the patient’s residence.

Select G2002 when the patient meets the applicable new-patient criteria and the documented visit corresponds to the 30-minute level. The record should support the post-discharge context, home setting, new-patient status, and time associated with the service. CMS assigns the code work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, with practice expense values listed for 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.

G2002 billing questions

How does G2002 differ from G2001 and G2003?

These are new-patient post-discharge home-visit levels distinguished by time: G2001 is the 20-minute level, G2002 the 30-minute level, and G2003 the 45-minute level.

Can G2002 be reported for an established patient?

No. G2002 is the new-patient level; G2007 is the corresponding 30-minute post-discharge home-visit code for an established patient.

What should the note support?

Document the home setting, the post-discharge context, the patient’s new-patient status, and the service time supporting the 30-minute level.

Does G2002 describe an office follow-up?

No. It identifies a post-discharge home visit, not an office-based follow-up appointment.

How is G2002 represented in the CMS fee schedule?

CMS lists work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs for the code, including practice-expense values for office and facility settings.

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.
