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

What G3002 covers

G3002 covers a monthly, pain-focused package of care for a patient with chronic pain. A physician or other qualified health professional may assess and monitor the pain, use a validated pain rating tool, develop or adjust a patient-centered care plan, manage treatment and medications, and coordinate related behavioral health or other care. Examples include ongoing management of persistent low back pain, neuropathic pain, or chronic pain associated with osteoarthritis. The work may take place in an office or other setting where the practitioner provides the service.

Report G3002 when the practitioner personally spends at least 30 minutes on qualifying chronic pain management and treatment during the calendar month. Documentation should support the time and describe the pain-related assessment, care planning, treatment management, or coordination performed. The monthly package includes activities such as pain assessment, medication management, pain and health literacy, and care coordination; do not count the same work again as a separate service. G3003 is used for qualifying additional time beyond the initial 30 minutes.
