What G2004 covers

G2004 describes a home visit after a beneficiary’s discharge, with the service documented at the 60-minute level for a new patient. A physician or other qualified health care professional assesses the beneficiary in the residence, such as during recovery after a hospital stay. The encounter may address current symptoms, medication use, mobility, support at home, and the need for further care.

Choose the new-patient series when the beneficiary meets the applicable new-patient definition; use the established-patient series otherwise. Document the discharge context, home setting, new-patient status, time supporting the selected level, clinical assessment, and plan. CMS assigns the code work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units under the Physician Fee Schedule. G2003 and G2005 are the neighboring new-patient levels for 45 and 75 minutes, respectively.

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.

G2004 billing questions

When should G2004 be selected instead of G2009?

Use G2004 for a qualifying new patient and G2009 for an established patient when the post-discharge home visit is documented at the 60-minute level.

How does G2004 differ from G2003 and G2005?

Those codes are the neighboring new-patient post-discharge home-visit levels: G2003 is 45 minutes and G2005 is 75 minutes. Select the level supported by the documented service time.

What documentation supports G2004?

Record that the visit occurred at the beneficiary’s home after discharge, the beneficiary’s new-patient status, the time supporting the 60-minute level, and the assessment and plan.

Can G2004 be reported for a clinic follow-up?

No. G2004 identifies a post-discharge home visit; a clinic encounter is not the home service represented by this code.

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.
