About G9487: Established patient remote E/M, 15 minutes
G9487 represents a 15-minute remote evaluation and management service for an established patient, selected when the clinician assesses a clinical concern remotely.
G9487 represents a remote evaluation and management service for a patient already established with the practice, at the 15-minute level. A physician or other qualified clinician uses a remote interaction to assess the patient's concern, review relevant clinical information, and determine next steps. The service is distinct from an in-person office visit and from a brief virtual check-in.
Select G9487 when the patient is established and the service meets the code's 15-minute descriptor; G9486 and G9488 represent neighboring established-patient time levels. Documentation should support the patient's established status, the clinical issue addressed, the remote assessment and management, and the time supporting the selected level. The CMS physician fee schedule data list a work RVU of 0.97, a malpractice RVU of 0.09, and zero practice-expense RVUs in both the office and facility columns.
