What G9987 covers
G9987 identifies an in-home visit furnished in connection with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced model. The encounter takes place at the beneficiary’s home rather than remotely or in a clinic. The code’s descriptor identifies the model and setting, but does not specify a particular diagnosis, clinical task, or type of clinician. It is therefore distinct from a general home-based evaluation and management service code.
Report G9987 when the documented encounter is an in-home visit associated with BPCI Advanced. The record should establish the date and location of the visit, who furnished it, the clinical purpose and services provided, and the connection to the beneficiary’s BPCI Advanced episode. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the code; the applicable fee schedule determines payment. The supplied CMS facts do not establish that this code represents every home visit furnished during an episode.

How to choose

- G9986Remote E/M
- G9986 identifies a longer remote E/M service for an established patient. It does not describe an in-person visit at the beneficiary’s home.
- 99350Home visit
- 99350 is a home or residence E/M code for an established patient. G9987 identifies the BPCI Advanced in-home-visit context rather than an E/M level.
G9987 billing questions
When should G9987 be selected instead of a home E/M code?
G9987 identifies an in-home visit associated with BPCI Advanced. A home E/M code describes a specific evaluation and management service; the documentation and applicable coding requirements determine which code represents the service furnished.
Does G9987 describe a remote visit?
No. Its descriptor identifies an in-home visit. Remote E/M codes describe encounters furnished remotely.
What should the visit documentation show?
Document the home setting, date, rendering clinician, clinical purpose, services furnished, and the connection to the BPCI Advanced episode.
Does the code establish separate payment for other services during the visit?
The code identifies the BPCI Advanced in-home visit. It does not, by itself, establish that other evaluation, management, or care coordination services are separately payable.
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.
