Care management

About G0086: Home care plan management, 30 minutes

Reports 30 minutes of care-management work focused on a patient's home care plan, rather than a timed care-management visit in the home.

G0086 represents care-management work directed at a patient's home care plan for a 30-minute service interval. The work may include reviewing the patient's status, coordinating information about care, and managing the plan as needs change. A physician or other qualified health care professional overseeing the patient's care may perform this work in a practice or other setting; the code describes plan-focused management, not a home visit.

Choose G0086 when the documented service is management of the home care plan and supports the 30-minute code, rather than a timed new- or established-patient home visit. Record the time and the plan-related work performed, such as review, coordination, and resulting care-plan actions. The record should make clear how the work relates to the patient's home care plan. CMS lists no additional payment rules for this code in the supplied facts.

G0086 billing questions

How does G0086 differ from a home-visit care-management code?

G0086 is for time spent managing a home care plan. G0077 and G0082 describe timed home visits for new and established patients, respectively.

When should the 30-minute code be selected?

Select G0086 when the documented service is plan-focused care management and supports its 30-minute interval. Do not select it just because care relates to a patient who receives services at home.

What documentation supports G0086?

Document the time spent, the patient's home care plan, and the specific review, coordination, or plan-management work performed.

How does G0086 differ from G0087?

Both describe management of a home care plan; G0086 is the 30-minute code, while G0087 is the 60-minute code.

Is G0086 reported for an in-home patient encounter?

The code represents plan-management work, not a timed home visit. Use the home-visit code family when the service is a qualifying care-management visit.
