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.
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.

How the G2015 rate is calculated
Each of G2015’s three RVUs is multiplied by a geographic index (GPCI) for the payment locality, added up, and multiplied by the conversion factor. Drag the indexes or enter a ZIP to see what moves the rate.

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.

G2015 billing questions
How is G2015 different from G2014?
Both describe post-discharge care-plan oversight, but G2015 is for more than 60 minutes; G2014 is the lower time-level code.
Can G2015 be used for a post-discharge home visit?
Not for the visit itself. G2015 represents care-plan oversight; use a post-discharge home-visit code when the documented service is a home visit.
What time should the record support?
Document more than 60 minutes of post-discharge care-plan oversight and identify the work performed.
Does a care-plan review by itself support G2015?
The record should support the extended oversight service, not merely note that a plan was reviewed. Include the care-plan issues addressed and coordination performed.
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.
