Evaluation and management
About 99345: New patient home high-complexity visit
Report for a new patient’s high-complexity evaluation in a home or residence, supported by high medical decision making or at least 75 minutes.
This service covers a comprehensive evaluation and management visit for a new patient seen in a private home or another residence, such as an assisted-living setting. A physician or qualified health care professional may address serious or worsening conditions, review relevant records and test results, and make high-risk treatment decisions. The code is for a patient meeting the CPT new-patient definition for the physician or qualified professional’s specialty and group.
Select this level when medical decision making is high, or when the practitioner’s total qualifying time on the date of service reaches at least 75 minutes. For high medical decision making, the documentation should support the complexity of the problems addressed, the data reviewed or analyzed, and the risk of management decisions. Record the residence, clinical assessment, decisions, and any qualifying time used to select the level. Do not include staff time or time spent on separately reported services in the E/M time total.

99345 billing questions
When should 99345 be chosen instead of 99344?
Choose 99345 when the encounter supports high medical decision making or at least 75 minutes of qualifying practitioner time. Use 99344 for the lower, moderate-complexity new-patient level.
Does the visit have to meet both high MDM and 75 minutes?
No. The level may be selected by high medical decision making or by meeting the 75-minute time threshold.
Can 99345 be reported for an established patient?
No. For an established patient seen in a home or residence, choose the code in the established-patient series that matches the documented level.
Is a nursing-facility visit reported with 99345?
No. 99345 is for a home or residence visit; nursing-facility E/M services use the nursing-facility code family.
What documentation supports the 75-minute basis?
Document the practitioner’s total qualifying time on the date of service and the work performed. Exclude staff time and time attributable to separately reported services.
