About G0081: Established patient home care management visit
Reports a 20-minute home-based care management visit for an established patient, with the service level supported by the encounter documentation.
G0081 describes a care management visit in the established patient's home at the 20-minute level. The clinician addresses the patient's ongoing care needs during an in-home encounter, such as reviewing the current management approach and coordinating care. The code is distinct from a home care-plan service and from a routine office visit; the record should make clear that the encounter occurred in the home and involved care management.
Select G0081 when the patient is established and the documented service supports this 20-minute level. Record the patient's established status, home setting, work performed, and time attributable to the service. CMS assigns the code work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units under the physician fee schedule. The submitted record should support the selected time level; the descriptor alone does not establish additional units.

G0081 billing questions
How does G0081 differ from G0082?
Both describe care management home visits for established patients. G0081 is the 20-minute level; G0082 is the 30-minute level.
Can G0081 be used for a new patient?
No. G0081 is for an established patient. The corresponding 20-minute new-patient home visit code is G0076.
What time should the record support?
Document the time attributable to the care management service and the work performed during the home visit. The code identifies the 20-minute level.
How is G0081 different from G0086?
G0081 identifies a care management home visit for an established patient. G0086 describes a home care-plan service, so choose based on the service documented rather than treating the codes as interchangeable.
