# CPT 99213

> Medicare paid $73.08 for CPT 99213 in the office (non-facility) setting and $51.58 in a facility under the Q2 2014 Physician Fee Schedule, effective April 2014. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment.

## What it is

A routine established-patient visit for a problem of low-to-moderate complexity — for example, checking in on one or two stable chronic conditions like well-controlled hypertension or diabetes, or evaluating a new minor issue such as a cough or ankle sprain. Total visit time typically runs about 20 to 29 minutes, and documentation should show the problem(s) addressed, any data reviewed (such as a lab result), and a low risk of complications from the plan of care. It is one of the most frequently billed services in all of medicine.
