What G9482 covers
G9482 identifies a remote evaluation and management service for a patient being seen as new, assigned to the 20-minute level. The practitioner evaluates the presenting concern, gathers relevant clinical information, and makes or updates a management plan through a remote encounter. The code describes practitioner-led clinical management rather than a remote administrative contact alone.
Select G9482 when documentation supports new-patient status and the service’s 20-minute level. Record the remote encounter date, clinical reason, relevant evaluation, decisions, plan, and time basis supporting code selection. Use a different G948x time-level code when the documented service corresponds to another level, or an established-patient code when that status applies. The CMS physician fee schedule file assigns 0.93 work RVUs and 0.07 malpractice RVUs, with zero practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings.
