What G9983 covers
A physician or other qualified practitioner uses a remote interaction to assess or manage an established patient’s clinical concern. Examples may include evaluating a reported symptom or reviewing response to ongoing treatment. The service is an E/M encounter, not simply an administrative message or the transmission of information. The descriptor identifies this as the established-patient 10-minute level; it does not identify a particular communication channel.
Select the code based on the patient’s established status and the time level supported by the applicable HCPCS instructions. Documentation should identify the clinical concern, the remote interaction, the E/M work performed, and the time used to support the selected level. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs; the practice-expense inputs differ between office and facility settings. The descriptor alone does not establish how recorded time maps to the level, so follow the instructions governing this code.

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.
