What G0082 covers
G0082 identifies a care-management home visit for an established patient at the 30-minute level. The service takes place in the patient’s home and addresses care-management needs there. It is distinct from a routine office encounter and from home visits coded for new patients. The descriptor does not identify a particular diagnosis or specialty, so the clinical record should make clear what care-management work was performed for the patient.
Select this code when the patient is established and the documented service supports the 30-minute level, rather than the shorter or longer established-patient levels. Documentation should identify the home setting, established-patient status, the care-management work, and the time supporting the selected level. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the service under the Physician Fee Schedule. The CMS payment-rule facts supplied for this code list no special add-on, component, global-period, or reduction instruction to explain here.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

G0082 billing questions
How does G0082 differ from G0081 or G0083?
All three are established-patient care-management home-visit levels. G0081 is the 20-minute level, G0082 is 30 minutes, and G0083 is 45 minutes.
Can G0082 be used for a new patient?
No. G0082 is for an established patient; the corresponding 30-minute new-patient level is G0077.
What documentation supports G0082?
Document that the visit occurred in the patient’s home, the patient’s established status, the care-management work performed, and the time supporting the 30-minute level.
Should I report G0082 more than once for a longer visit?
The descriptor identifies a 30-minute level. Do not infer multiple units from the visit length alone; follow the applicable code instructions and support the reported service in the record.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
