What G2001 covers
G2001 represents a home-based visit for a new patient following discharge. The clinician evaluates the patient’s status and needs in the home setting. The post-discharge context, home location, new-patient status, and 20-minute service level distinguish this code from other entries in the G2001-G2009 series.
Choose G2001 when the documented visit matches the new-patient category and 20-minute level. The neighboring codes identify longer time levels or visits for established patients. Record the discharge-related purpose, where the service occurred, the patient’s status, and the time supporting the selected level. CMS assigns physician fee schedule values for physician work, practice expense, and malpractice; the supplied CMS facts list no additional payment rules for this code.

G2001 billing questions
How does G2001 differ from G2002?
Both identify post-discharge home visits for new patients. G2001 is the 20-minute level; G2002 is the 30-minute level.
How does G2001 differ from G2006?
G2001 is for a new patient, while G2006 identifies the 20-minute post-discharge home visit level for an established patient.
What should the note support?
Document the relationship to the discharge, the home setting, new-patient status, and the time level reported.
Does the code describe a clinic visit?
No. G2001 identifies a post-discharge home visit, not an office-based follow-up.
When should a longer time-level code be considered?
Use the corresponding longer-duration sibling when the documented post-discharge home visit supports that level, rather than reporting G2001.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
