Remote evaluation and management
About G9485: New patient remote E/M, 60 minutes
Report G9485 for a remote evaluation and management encounter with a new patient in the 60-minute duration category.
G9485 identifies a remote evaluation and management service for a new patient in the 60-minute category. A primary care or specialty clinician may use it to assess a patient's concerns remotely, gather relevant history, and determine a care plan. The code distinguishes this longer new-patient service from the shorter remote E/M duration categories in the G9481–G9484 series.
Choose the code based on the documented remote service and the time category supported by the encounter. Record the clinical work, patient concerns, assessment, plan, and time supporting the selected category. CMS physician fee schedule data assigns G9485 3.17 work RVUs and 0.36 malpractice RVUs, with zero practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings. The supplied CMS facts list no additional payment-rule details for this code.

G9485 billing questions
How is G9485 distinguished from G9484?
Both describe remote E/M for a new patient, but G9485 is the 60-minute category and G9484 is the 45-minute category. The documented encounter should support the category selected.
Can G9485 be used for an established patient?
No. G9485 is the new-patient remote E/M code; the G9486–G9489 series identifies remote E/M categories for established patients.
What documentation supports G9485?
Document the remote evaluation, the patient's concerns, the assessment and plan, and the time supporting the 60-minute category.
Can G9485 be billed with a shorter new-patient remote E/M code for the same encounter?
The G9481–G9485 codes identify different duration categories for new-patient remote E/M. Select the category supported by the encounter rather than reporting multiple duration tiers for the same service.
Does G9485 have separate office and facility practice-expense values?
The CMS data supplied for G9485 lists zero practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings, alongside work and malpractice RVUs.
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.
