Remote evaluation and management
About G9489: Established-patient remote E/M, 40 minutes
G9489 identifies a 40-minute remote evaluation and management service for an established patient, distinct from the shorter established-patient time levels.
G9489 represents remote evaluation and management for a patient who already has an established relationship with the clinician. A clinician may use it for remote follow-up involving an ongoing condition, such as reviewing symptoms or response to a treatment plan and deciding on next steps. The code’s distinguishing details are the established-patient status and the 40-minute time level; it is not the new-patient remote E/M series.
Select G9489 when the documented remote E/M service fits this time level, rather than a shorter established-patient level. The record should support the patient’s established status, that the service was provided remotely, the E/M work performed, and the time supporting code selection. In the supplied CMS fee-schedule data, G9489 has work and malpractice RVUs and zero practice-expense RVUs in both office and facility settings. The CMS rules supplied for this code do not specify an add-on, global-period, component, or reduction rule.
