Determining whether HCPCS code G2211 can be billed when a patient sees a different physician or practitioner within the same group practice, even colleagues in the same specialty, presents an interesting coding challenge. The key consideration revolves around whether the new provider serves as the “continuing focal point for all needed services or provides ongoing care for that complex or serious single condition.” Expert analysis by specialists like Terry is crucial in breaking down these nuances to ensure accurate coding for the G2211 complexity add-on. The code’s intent is to recognize the inherent complexity of visits that are part of a longitudinal patient-provider relationship, either where the practitioner is the primary point of contact for all healthcare needs, or where they manage a single, serious, or complex condition over time. When a patient transitions to a new provider within the same group, even in the same specialty, the question arises whether the new provider has established or intends to establish the same level of consistent, ongoing care that would justify billing G2211. This requires careful consideration of the documentation and the nature of the relationship being built with the new practitioner. Terry, our coding expert, unpacks these nuances to help you avoid over or under-coding. Tune in to ensure your practice is accurately capturing the true complexity of patient care!

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedA question I’m often asked is, “Why do physicians charge so much?” There’s no easy answer, as there isn’t a fixed price list for medical services. Due to the healthcare system’s complexity and the absence of set prices, providers are largely free to charge what the market will bear. However, can there be consequences for over-pricing or egregiously overcharging payers? Yes. It’s crucial to pay close attention to this issue, as it could lead to trouble not only legally but also in terms of regulatory compliance.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedEngaging with “bad actors” in medical billing can have serious consequences for both patients and healthcare providers. More and more providers are engaging without checking. Here’s what could happen. Terry discusses it all with examples. Legal repercussions: Providers can face hefty fines, civil or criminal charges, and even loss of their medical license for engaging in fraudulent billing. Financial impact: Audits, penalties, and required repayments can lead to significant financial losses for the provider’s practice. Reputational damage: Being associated with fraud can significantly damage a provider’s reputation, leading to decreased patient volume and referral issues.

Since the implementation of the No Surprises Act (NSA) in January 2022, out-of-network (OON) reimbursement has become a complex and resource-heavy challenge for hospital and health system revenue cycle leaders. Although designed to shield patients from unexpected medical bills, the legislation has placed continuous financial pressure on physician practices and hospital systems. It has led to delayed payments, operational burdens, and strained resources.

The 2021/2023 E/M guideline revisions read: “The evaluation and/or treatment should be consistent with the likely nature of the condition.” Before this, the CPT® guidelines did not discuss medical necessity. Guidance was left to the payers, particularly Medicare, via the Social Security Act. CMS’s guidance doesn’t necessarily hold regulatory authority. However, it often reflects a new, shared understanding that medical services reported should meet documentation standards for level selection. Those standards should also appropriately indicate why the patient is visiting the provider, based on the presenting problems. This episode of the CodeCast echoes Terry’s insights that auditors, coders, and medical professionals focus on medical necessity first, then look to coding.

Payment is included in the physician fee schedule payment for the evaluation and management (E/M) services to the patient.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedE/M Coding still has confusion when capturing “data points” elements. When deciding to give credit for either an independent interpretation (CAT 2) or a review of test results (CAT 1) is an often misunderstood component of the Medical Decision Making (MDM) table. Proper documentation of independent interpretation is required to impact the MDM, and consequently, reimbursement. Terry breaks down the compliance issues and best practices to make sure you are not over-coding. (Also, a shout out to Shannon DeConda and her excellent article on the topic on the NAMAS blog.)

Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to make substantial progress toward the goal of making healthcare more personalized, predictive, preventative, and interactive. However, AI-based systems raise concerns regarding data security and privacy. Because health records are important and vulnerable, hackers often target them during data breaches. The absence of standard guidelines for the moral use of AI and ML (machine learning) in healthcare has only worsened the situation. There is debate about how far artificial intelligence (AI) may be utilized ethically in healthcare settings since there are no universal guidelines for its use. Therefore, maintaining the confidentiality of medical records is crucial. Terry scratches the surface and discusses some concerns about AI in healthcare predictive models and what to also look for as we continue to use AI scribes.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedMany practices offer cash payment options to avoid insurance billing, hoping to reduce administrative burden or boost revenue. However, this practice of charging cash for services that could be billed to and covered by a patient’s insurance plan raises serious compliance concerns. Federal law and insurance contracts generally prohibit this practice because it undermines the healthcare payment system and can lead to regulatory violations. Terry discusses the compliance ramifications of this policy with a little health from a NAMAS article.

Also, when billing for diagnostic procedures on a complaint that moves to a minor, therapeutic, or surgical procedure, denials will happen when the diagnosis for the latter procedure is not updated.

Remember, patients do not have a share of cost of AWV’s so if you add an E/M it comes out of their pocket too. Terry also adds more commentary for the audio-only Telehealth rules for 2025.
