About G9483: Remote new-patient E/M, 30 minutes
Remote evaluation and management for a new patient at the 30-minute level, used when a clinician assesses a clinical concern and develops a plan remotely.
G9483 identifies a remote evaluation and management encounter for a new patient at the 30-minute level. A physician or other qualified practitioner assesses the patient's presenting concern, relevant history, and clinical needs remotely, then determines and communicates a plan. The service is intended for a substantive clinical evaluation, rather than scheduling or a simple administrative exchange.
Choose this tier when documentation supports the 30-minute new-patient remote E/M level; G9482 and G9484 represent adjacent time levels, while established-patient services use a different tier. Record the remote format, clinical issues addressed, assessment and plan, and time attributable to the service under applicable time-counting guidance. CMS assigns work and malpractice RVUs for this code; the supplied fee schedule facts show no practice-expense RVUs in either office or facility settings.

G9483 billing questions
How does G9483 differ from G9482 and G9484?
G9483 is the 30-minute new-patient tier. G9482 is the shorter tier, and G9484 is the longer tier; select the level supported by the documented service time.
Can G9483 be reported for an established patient?
No. G9483 is in the new-patient remote E/M series; use an established-patient tier when the patient meets established status under applicable E/M rules.
Does the code specify audio-only or audiovisual service?
The descriptor identifies remote E/M but does not specify the connection modality. The code label alone should not be used to infer audio-only or audiovisual requirements.
What documentation supports G9483?
Document the remote encounter, the clinical concern and assessment, the plan, the patient's new-patient status, and time supporting the 30-minute tier.
Is the 30-minute tier selected by time or complexity?
The code is time-tiered. Document time supporting G9483 and the clinical work performed; complexity alone does not establish the time level.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
