Consultation
About G0547: Interprofessional phone or EHR consultation
Reports an interprofessional medical consultation conducted by phone, internet, or EHR when the consultant’s documented service time is 11–20 minutes.
This service captures a consultant’s medical review and discussion with the treating clinician using telephone, internet, or the electronic health record, followed by advice for the patient’s care. It is typically performed by a physician or other qualified health care professional asked to provide specialty input when the treating clinician needs help interpreting findings, refining a diagnosis, or planning management. It is clinician-to-clinician consultation rather than a direct patient-facing telephone E/M service.
Choose G0547 when documented consultation time falls from 11 through 20 minutes; use a neighboring time tier when the recorded service time falls elsewhere. The record should identify the requesting and consulting clinicians, the clinical question, relevant record review, the consultant’s assessment and recommendations, communication back to the treating clinician, and the time spent. CMS assigns physician fee schedule relative values to this service. The code represents the interprofessional consultation, not a separate patient visit.

G0547 billing questions
How does G0547 differ from G0546?
The time tier distinguishes them: G0547 is for 11–20 minutes, while G0546 is the shorter neighboring tier. Select the code that matches the documented consultation time.
When should G0548 be used instead?
Use G0548 when the interprofessional consultation time falls in its longer 21–30-minute tier, rather than G0547’s 11–20-minute tier.
Is this a phone E/M service with the patient?
No. G0547 represents consultation between the consulting professional and the treating clinician, with recommendations communicated back to that clinician.
What documentation supports G0547?
Document the clinical question, clinicians involved, relevant record review, consultant’s assessment and recommendations, communication back to the treating clinician, and consultation time.
How is G0547 different from G0549?
Both are interprofessional phone, internet, or EHR consultation services, but G0549 is the longer time tier. Use G0547 for 11–20 minutes.
