Evaluation and management
About G0546: Online digital E/M, 5–10 minutes
Report G0546 for a brief online evaluation and management service for an established patient when the clinician’s qualifying work totals 5–10 minutes.
G0546 represents a brief online evaluation and management service for an established patient. A physician or other qualified health care professional reviews and responds to a patient’s electronic communication, such as a secure portal message, and provides clinical assessment or management. It is not a real-time office visit; the work is conducted through an online communication channel rather than an in-person encounter.
Select this tier based on the clinician’s qualifying time for the service, not the number of messages. Document the patient’s request, clinical issue, assessment or advice, and time spent. The online service is not separately reported when it arises from a related E/M service in the preceding seven days or leads to an E/M service or procedure within the next 24 hours or the soonest available appointment. CMS assigns physician work, practice expense, and malpractice relative values to the code.

G0546 billing questions
When should G0546 be selected instead of G0547?
Use G0546 for 5–10 minutes of qualifying work. G0547 is the next time tier, for 11–20 minutes.
Does each portal message count as a separate service?
No. Select the time tier from the clinician’s qualifying work for the service, rather than counting messages.
Can G0546 be reported when the patient is seen soon afterward?
Do not separately report the online service when it leads to an E/M service or procedure within 24 hours or the soonest available appointment.
What documentation supports G0546?
Record the patient’s online request, the clinical issue addressed, the clinician’s assessment or management, and the time spent.
Does a related recent E/M affect reporting?
Yes. The online service is not separately reported when it arises from a related E/M service provided during the preceding seven days.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
