About G2009: Post-discharge established-patient home visit
Reports a 60-minute post-discharge home visit for an established patient, such as an in-home assessment of recovery and care needs.
G2009 represents a post-discharge visit conducted in the patient’s home for someone classified as an established patient. A physician or other qualified clinician may assess recovery after an inpatient stay, review the patient’s medication regimen, evaluate symptoms or mobility, and address barriers to following the discharge plan. The setting is the patient’s home rather than a routine office follow-up.
Select this level when the service is the established-patient, 60-minute post-discharge home visit. The record should connect the visit to the discharge, identify the home setting and established-patient status, describe the assessment and care provided, and support the time level reported. CMS fee-schedule valuation assigns work, practice expense, and malpractice relative values to the service.

G2009 billing questions
How does G2009 differ from G2008?
Both describe post-discharge home visits for established patients. G2008 is the 45-minute level; G2009 is the 60-minute level.
When should G2004 be considered instead?
G2004 is the 60-minute post-discharge home-visit level for a new patient. G2009 is for an established patient.
What should the note support?
Document the discharge context, that the service took place in the patient’s home, the established-patient status, the work performed, and time supporting the 60-minute level.
Is G2009 a follow-up office visit?
No. G2009 identifies a post-discharge home visit. A service delivered in the office is not a home visit.
How does G2009 differ from G2014?
G2009 describes an in-person home visit after discharge. G2014 is identified as post-discharge care plan oversight, a different service.
