Evaluation and management
About G0548: Telephone and internet E/M, 21-30 minutes
Reports a clinician’s telephone or internet evaluation and management service when the documented service time falls within the 21-30-minute band.
G0548 identifies a telephone or internet evaluation and management service lasting 21-30 minutes. The clinician addresses a patient’s clinical concern remotely, assesses the information available, and provides management guidance or a plan. The code is distinguished from neighboring time-based services by the time spent on the service, not by a particular diagnosis or body system.
Select G0548 when documentation supports 21-30 minutes for the reported service. Record the clinical issue, the remote communication, the assessment and management performed, and the time supporting this band. Use the neighboring time-based code when documented time falls in its band. The CMS facts supplied assign work, practice expense, and malpractice relative value units to G0548; they provide no additional payment instruction to describe for this code.
