What G2006 covers

G2006 represents a post-discharge visit in the patient’s home for someone classified as an established patient. A physician or other qualified billing practitioner provides the home-based clinical service after discharge. The code identifies the 20-minute duration level, rather than an office visit or a new-patient home visit.

Select G2006 based on both established-patient status and documented visit time. The record should support the discharge context, home location, practitioner’s clinical work, and time for the selected duration level. Use another code in the G200x post-discharge home-visit series when the patient category or duration differs. CMS assigns physician work, practice expense, and malpractice relative values to G2006 under the Physician Fee Schedule.

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.

G2006 billing questions

How does G2006 differ from G2001?

Both identify a 20-minute post-discharge home visit. G2006 is for an established patient; G2001 is the new-patient level.

How do I choose among the established-patient codes?

Choose the duration level supported by the documented time: G2006 is 20 minutes, with G2007, G2008, G2009, and G2013 covering longer levels.

What documentation supports G2006?

Document the post-discharge context, that the service took place in the patient’s home, the patient’s established status, the clinical work, and the time supporting the 20-minute level.

Can G2006 be used for a new patient?

No. The G2006 descriptor specifies the established-patient category; use the corresponding new-patient code when that category applies.

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.
