About G2005: Post-discharge new-patient home visit

Reports a 75-minute home visit for a new patient after discharge, when a clinician assesses the patient’s needs in the home setting.

G2005 identifies a home visit for a new patient after discharge, at the 75-minute level. A physician or other qualified clinician sees the patient in the home to assess the patient’s condition and needs during the transition from a facility to home. The setting and post-discharge context distinguish this service from an office visit or a routine home visit unrelated to a discharge.

Select this code when the patient meets the new-patient criteria and the documented service supports the 75-minute level. The record should identify the discharge context, the home setting, the clinician’s assessment and management, and the time supporting the selected level. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to G2005; the claim should reflect the service and applicable site of service. The supplied CMS rules do not specify additional payment adjustments for this code.
