About G2010: Remote image or video review

Report G2010 when a clinician reviews images or recorded video submitted by an established patient and follows up within 24 business hours.

G2010 covers a clinician’s asynchronous review of images or recorded video sent by an established patient, such as a photograph of a new rash. The clinician interprets the material and communicates follow-up to the patient within 24 business hours. This is a remote review, not a live video or telephone conversation, and may be performed by a practitioner who can evaluate the submitted information and provide the follow-up.

Report the service when the submission and review meet the code’s timing conditions: it must not arise from a related E/M service in the prior 7 days or lead to an E/M service or procedure within 24 hours or the soonest available appointment. Document the submitted material, the clinical review, and the follow-up communication and timing; record patient consent. The CMS physician fee schedule assigns 0.18 work RVUs, practice-expense RVUs of 0.20 in the office and 0.05 in a facility, and 0.01 malpractice RVUs.

G2010 billing questions

How does G2010 differ from G2012?

G2010 is for clinician review of patient-submitted images or recorded video with follow-up. G2012 describes a brief, synchronous communication-based check-in rather than review of submitted visual material.

Is the interpretation separately reportable?

The interpretation and follow-up communication are part of the G2010 service. Document them as elements of the service rather than treating them as separate G2010 units.

Can G2010 be reported if the review leads to an office visit?

The code’s timing criteria exclude a review that leads to an E/M service or procedure within the next 24 hours or the soonest available appointment.

What documentation supports G2010?

Record the established patient’s submitted images or video, the clinician’s review and interpretation, the follow-up communication and its timing, and patient consent.

When would an online digital E/M code be a better fit?

Codes 99421–99423 describe online digital E/M services measured by cumulative time. G2010 is specific to review of patient-submitted images or recorded video.

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.
