HCPCS code G2015: Care plan oversight, post-discharge, over 60 minutes2026 Medicare rate & RVUs in California

Medicare pays $105.75–$124.63 for G2015 in the office in California, from Chico, CA to San Benito County, CA. Which amount applies depends on the service address.

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

What G2015 covers

G2015 describes extended oversight of a patient's care plan after discharge from an acute or post-acute setting. The work centers on monitoring the plan and coordinating care as the patient moves into follow-up, rather than conducting a post-discharge home visit. The clinician responsible for the patient's ongoing care may review updates, address care-plan issues, and coordinate next steps with the patient or other members of the care team.

Select this code when the documented post-discharge care-plan oversight exceeds 60 minutes. The record should identify the post-discharge plan, the oversight and coordination performed, and the time supporting the code. Distinguish that work from a separately described face-to-face home visit, such as the timed services represented by G2004 or G2009. The service is selected by its post-discharge oversight work and time threshold.

Payment rules and modifiers for G2015

G2015 has no global surgery period, no multiple-procedure, bilateral or assistant-at-surgery adjustment, and no professional/technical split. What changes the payment is where the service happens: the place of service on the claim decides whether Medicare pays the office or the facility rate.
