About G0550: Phone or internet diagnostic treatment service
G0550 reports a phone or internet interaction addressing diagnosis or treatment when the service lasts more than five minutes.
G0550 describes a clinician’s phone or internet interaction with a patient to address a diagnostic or treatment need, lasting more than five minutes. The interaction may involve evaluating a concern, discussing clinical information, or addressing treatment. The code is distinguished by its diagnostic or treatment purpose and its duration threshold; it is not simply a label for any remote contact.
Report the code when the documented interaction meets that description. Record the clinical issue addressed, the communication method, and the service time so the record supports code selection. CMS assigns 0.7 work RVUs, 0.3 office practice-expense RVUs, 0.15 facility practice-expense RVUs, and 0.05 malpractice RVUs. The supplied CMS facts list no additional payment rules for this code.
