Care management

About G0085: Established-patient care management home visit

Reports a 75-minute care-management home visit for an established patient, distinguished from shorter visit levels and the corresponding new-patient service.

G0085 represents an extended care-management visit in an established patient’s home. The clinician addresses the patient’s ongoing care needs during the home encounter. The code identifies both the established-patient status and the 75-minute service level; it differs from the new-patient home-visit level and from a home-care-plan service. The related established-patient visit codes describe shorter time levels.

Report G0085 when the patient is established, the service is a home visit for care management, and the documented time supports this level. Documentation should identify the patient’s status, the home setting, the care-management work performed, and the time associated with the visit. CMS values the service in the Physician Fee Schedule using physician-work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs.
