About G2011: Alcohol and substance misuse assessment
Report G2011 for a 5- to 15-minute structured assessment of alcohol or non-tobacco substance misuse, such as an AUDIT or DAST screening.
G2011 covers a structured assessment of possible alcohol or non-tobacco substance misuse, typically performed during an outpatient primary care or behavioral health visit. A clinician may use a validated instrument such as the AUDIT for alcohol use or the DAST for drug use. The service is the assessment itself; it is not a general discussion of substance use or counseling alone. The code describes an assessment lasting 5 to 15 minutes.
Report G2011 when the structured assessment and its time are documented. Record the instrument or assessment method, the time spent, and the findings. A positive result may lead to further evaluation or counseling, but those activities are distinct from the assessment. CMS assigns physician fee schedule resource values to G2011, including practice-expense inputs that differ by office and facility setting; FeeBase displays payment rates separately.

G2011 billing questions
When should G2011 be chosen over G0442?
G2011 describes a 5- to 15-minute structured assessment of alcohol or non-tobacco substance misuse. G0442 is the Medicare alcohol-misuse screening service; it is limited to alcohol screening.
Does G2011 include counseling or treatment?
No. G2011 describes the structured assessment. Counseling or treatment is a distinct service and requires its own documentation and applicable coding.
What should the record show?

How much time does G2011 represent?
G2011 is for a structured assessment lasting 5 to 15 minutes. Base the selection on time spent on the assessment, not the total visit length.
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.
