# CPT 90960

> Medicare paid $362.54 for CPT 90960 in the office (non-facility) setting and $362.54 in a facility under the Q3 2021 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 2021. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2021, when it increased 24.5%.

## What it is

A full calendar month of managing an adult with end-stage renal disease on dialysis, where the physician or advanced practitioner saw the patient face to face four or more times during that month. The month of care covers reviewing lab results, adjusting the dialysis prescription and dry weight, managing anemia, blood pressure, bone and mineral problems, nutrition, and access to the bloodstream. Two sibling codes cover the same adult population at lower visit frequencies: two to three visits, or a single visit. Other codes in the family cover children, where the bands are defined by age instead.
