What G2086 covers

G2086 represents the monthly office-based treatment package for a patient receiving care for opioid use disorder during the initial calendar month. The work may include treatment planning, coordination with other clinicians or support services, psychotherapy, counseling, and medication-related management. It is used by clinicians providing outpatient OUD care outside an opioid treatment program, such as a physician or other qualified practitioner in an office setting.

Report G2086 when qualifying services total at least 70 minutes during that first calendar month; the time is accumulated across qualifying activities, not counted separately for each visit. Documentation should identify the treatment activities, dates, practitioners involved, and total time supporting the monthly threshold. G2087 is the corresponding base service for a subsequent calendar month, while G2088 may be reported for qualifying additional treatment time beyond the base service.

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.

Payment rules and modifiers for G2086

G2086 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.

G2086 billing questions

How does G2086 differ from G2087?

G2086 applies to the initial calendar month of office-based opioid use disorder treatment and requires at least 70 minutes. G2087 is for a subsequent calendar month and has a 60-minute threshold.

Is G2086 reported once for each treatment visit?

No. It represents qualifying treatment activities accumulated during the initial calendar month, rather than a separate code for each visit.

What documentation supports the time threshold?

Record the qualifying treatment activities, service dates, practitioners involved, and the total time for the month. The record should make clear that the services relate to office-based opioid use disorder treatment.

When is G2088 reported with G2086?

G2088 is the add-on code for qualifying additional treatment time beyond the base monthly service. The documentation must support the additional time reported.

Is G2086 the same as an opioid treatment program bundle?

No. G2086 describes a monthly office-based treatment package; opioid treatment program codes such as G2068 describe a different treatment setting and bundle.

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.
