# CPT 99349

> Medicare paid $131.04 for CPT 99349 in the office (non-facility) setting and $131.04 in a facility under the Q2 2018 Physician Fee Schedule, effective April 2018. These are the national allowed amounts before the ~2% sequestration cut and before locality (GPCI) adjustment. This price has been unchanged since Q1 2018, when it increased 0.6%.

## What it is

A follow-up house call to a known patient where the judgment involved is moderately complex — several chronic conditions being managed together, one of them not fully controlled, or a new problem that needs tests and a medication change. It is the workhorse level for home-based primary care, sitting between the routine check and the visit for a genuinely unstable patient.
