What G2211 covers
G2211 recognizes the extra cognitive work of being responsible for a patient over time, not the difficulty of a single encounter. It applies when the billing practitioner is the continuing focal point for all of the patient's needed services, as primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and physician assistants typically are, or provides ongoing care for a single serious or complex condition. Examples include an endocrinologist managing a patient's diabetes or an infectious disease physician following a patient with HIV. It is reported for office and outpatient visits, including those furnished by telehealth.
Report one unit with a new or established patient office or outpatient E/M code (99202-99215). Documentation should support the longitudinal relationship, such as an ongoing care plan, chronic condition management, or the practitioner's role in coordinating the patient's care. The relationship can begin with a new patient visit when ongoing care is expected. It does not fit a one-time or time-limited episode. As an add-on, G2211 is billed only with its primary E/M and paid within that service's global period. It is generally not payable when the base E/M carries modifier 25, except when that visit is reported on the same day as an annual wellness visit, vaccine administration, or a Medicare Part B preventive service.

How to choose
- G2212Prolonged office visitMedicare add-on, each 15 minutes
- G2212 is time-based and adds payment for extended time beyond a 99205 or 99215 threshold; G2211 is not time-based and reflects the ongoing practitioner-patient relationship.
- 99490Chronic care managementClinical staff, first 20 minutes
- 99490 pays for monthly non-face-to-face chronic care management staff time; G2211 is attached to an in-person or telehealth office visit and recognizes longitudinal work inherent in that visit.
- 99214Office visitEstablished patient, moderate complexity
- 99214 is the visit itself, leveled by medical decision making or time; G2211 never stands alone and is appended only when longitudinal care criteria are documented.
G2211 billing questions
Does G2211 require the visit itself to be of high complexity?
No. The add-on reflects the ongoing relationship and the practitioner's responsibility for the patient's care over time, so it can accompany a straightforward or low-complexity visit if the longitudinal criteria are met.
Which primary codes can G2211 be reported with?
It is reported with office and outpatient E/M codes 99202-99215, for both new and established patients. It cannot be billed on its own.
Can G2211 be billed when the E/M has modifier 25?
Generally no. CMS allows it with a modifier 25 E/M when that visit occurs on the same day as an annual wellness visit, vaccine administration, or a Medicare Part B preventive service, but not when the separate service is a minor procedure.
Can specialists report G2211?
Yes, when the specialist provides ongoing care for a single serious or complex condition, such as a rheumatologist managing rheumatoid arthritis. A one-time consultative visit or a short episode of care does not qualify.
Can G2211 and G2212 be reported on the same claim?
Yes. When a 99205 or 99215 visit meets the time threshold for Medicare prolonged services and the longitudinal criteria are met, both add-ons may be reported with the same base visit.
Does patient cost-sharing apply to G2211?
Yes. Medicare deductible and coinsurance apply to G2211 as they do to the base office visit.

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.
