# CPT 99495

> Medicare paid $167.04 for CPT 99495 in the office (non-facility) setting and $112.32 in a facility under the Q3 2018 Physician Fee Schedule, effective July 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 1.0%.

## What it is

A bundle of services that manages a patient’s move from a hospital, skilled-nursing facility, or similar setting back to the community over the 30 days after discharge, for a case of moderate complexity — for example, coordinating follow-up after a hip-fracture repair with a few manageable chronic conditions. It requires an interactive contact (phone, in-person, or telehealth) within 2 business days of discharge and a face-to-face office visit within 14 calendar days.
