BPCI Advanced
About G9987: BPCI Advanced in-home visit
G9987 identifies an in-home visit associated with a BPCI Advanced episode, distinguishing it from remote evaluation and routine home-visit reporting.
G9987 identifies an in-home visit furnished in connection with the Bundled Payments for Care Improvement Advanced model. The encounter takes place at the beneficiary’s home rather than remotely or in a clinic. The code’s descriptor identifies the model and setting, but does not specify a particular diagnosis, clinical task, or type of clinician. It is therefore distinct from a general home-based evaluation and management service code.
Report G9987 when the documented encounter is an in-home visit associated with BPCI Advanced. The record should establish the date and location of the visit, who furnished it, the clinical purpose and services provided, and the connection to the beneficiary’s BPCI Advanced episode. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the code; the applicable fee schedule determines payment. The supplied CMS facts do not establish that this code represents every home visit furnished during an episode.

G9987 billing questions
When should G9987 be selected instead of a home E/M code?
G9987 identifies an in-home visit associated with BPCI Advanced. A home E/M code describes a specific evaluation and management service; the documentation and applicable coding requirements determine which code represents the service furnished.
Does G9987 describe a remote visit?
No. Its descriptor identifies an in-home visit. Remote E/M codes describe encounters furnished remotely.
What should the visit documentation show?
Document the home setting, date, rendering clinician, clinical purpose, services furnished, and the connection to the BPCI Advanced episode.
Does the code establish separate payment for other services during the visit?
The code identifies the BPCI Advanced in-home visit. It does not, by itself, establish that other evaluation, management, or care coordination services are separately payable.
Where these rates come from
FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
