What G9984 covers
This HCPCS Level II service represents a remote evaluation and management encounter for a patient already established with the clinician, at the code's 15-minute level. It describes clinical work performed remotely to assess a concern and determine or update a plan. The descriptor does not specify a communication technology, so documentation should identify how the encounter occurred rather than assume a particular modality.
Choose this code based on the established-patient status and documented service time supporting its 15-minute level. Record the concern addressed, participants, remote method, evaluation and management performed, and resulting plan. Use a new-patient code when the patient meets new-patient criteria. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs to this service; payment is determined through the applicable Medicare fee-schedule calculation. The 15-minute level distinguishes this code from other established-patient remote E/M levels.
This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.
