About G0080: New-patient home care management visit
Reports a 75-minute, new-patient care-management visit delivered at home, with time and coordination work documented for the encounter.
G0080 represents a new-patient care-management visit delivered in the patient’s home, at the 75-minute level. The encounter focuses on understanding care needs and coordinating next steps across the patient’s clinicians and home-based services. A physician or other practitioner furnishing the care-management service may report it for work performed in the home setting.
Choose G0080 when the documented service belongs to the 75-minute new-patient tier; G0076 through G0079 identify shorter new-patient tiers, while G0081 through G0085 are for established patients. The record should establish new-patient status, that the service occurred at home, time attributable to the encounter, care issues addressed, coordination performed, and the follow-up plan. CMS assigns physician work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the service in the physician fee schedule.
