Evaluation and management
About G9982: Remote E/M for a new patient, 60 minutes
G9982 identifies a 60-minute remote evaluation and management service for a new patient, distinct from shorter new-patient and established-patient remote service levels.
G9982 represents a remote evaluation and management service for a new patient in the 60-minute category. It is intended for a clinician providing patient-specific assessment and management remotely, rather than an in-person office encounter. The code’s descriptor distinguishes it by both the new-patient designation and the 60-minute level; it does not identify a particular specialty, diagnosis, or body system.
Select G9982 when the documented remote E/M service meets the new-patient category and supports this time level. The record should identify the remote encounter, the clinician’s assessment and management, the patient’s status for code selection, and the time basis supporting the 60-minute category. G9978 through G9981 identify shorter remote E/M levels for new patients, while G9983 and later codes begin the established-patient series. CMS lists physician fee schedule relative values for G9982, but the supplied 2024 data reports no office or facility services.
