Medicare Billing Update: Boost Reimbursement with G2211 Add-On Code

To capture Medicare reimbursement for complex Medicare patient visits, you must know when to use this add-on code.

To report the additional time, effort, and related practice expenses associated with caring for Medicare patients across the continuum of care, qualified healthcare providers can begin billing HCPCS Level II codes on Jan. 1, 2024.

Evaluation and management of G2211 visits are complex due to the fact that they serve as the focal point for all the health care services the patient requires or because they are part of the ongoing care for a single, serious or complex condition.

Consider This

There are a few things to consider before you begin billing for this service:

1. Medical Billing providers are required to provide patients with longitudinal care.

• In the case of urgent care, consultants, second opinions, etc., providers who are not intending to maintain an ongoing relationship with the patient should not bill G2111.

2. The add-on code may be billed by general practitioners and specialists.
3. as part of a complete assessment and management (E/M) service offered by an office or other outpatient setting.
