Why a 99489 line may not pay separately Copy link
CMS publishes no separately payable amount for 99489 in this release, so reconciling the line means establishing which status governed the date of service rather than chasing a fee-schedule difference.
What to reconcile
- Confirm the status that governed the date of service before working this line as a short payment—CMS publishes no separately payable fee-schedule amount for it in this release.
- Reconcile this line together with the primary procedure on the same claim—it is an add-on that is never billed alone and carries no global period of its own.
- Reprice the line against the release, locality, setting, modifier and participation status that applied to the date of service before treating any difference as an underpayment.

Global period: what 99489's fee already covers Copy link
This code is always billed alongside another service and carries no follow-up period of its own. The primary procedure's global period governs; this indicator does not determine whether either line is payable.

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q1 2013 release (effective January 2013). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Status and payment instructions determine whether a national amount is established; blank RVUs stay blank. Releases are immutable: historical evidence remains tied to the specified release. Our methodology covers the depth: sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before they ship.
