Chronic pain management

About G3003: Additional chronic pain management time

Reports each additional 15 minutes of structured chronic pain management after the initial monthly service for a patient receiving ongoing, coordinated pain care.

G3003 represents additional clinician time spent managing a patient’s chronic pain after the initial service. A physician or other qualified health care professional may use this time to review pain and treatment progress, update the person-centered care plan, manage medications, address pain-related needs, and coordinate relevant behavioral health, therapy, or community-based services. The work is part of ongoing chronic pain care rather than a stand-alone procedure.

Report G3003 only with the primary chronic pain management service, G3002, for additional 15-minute increments. Documentation should identify the chronic pain management work performed and support the additional time reported. CMS classifies G3003 as an add-on code: it is billed with the primary service and paid within that service’s global period.
