  • Its status indicator is B (bundled)—Medicare folds payment for this code into the service it is incident to, never onto its own line. See status indicators

Payer-specific coverage and documentation rules live outside these files, so a claim that clears every check here can still be denied on other grounds.

Payment review for G2211 Copy link

G2211 is a separate line, not a percentage built into the office visit. Check the base visit and the add-on separately, using the rules and fee-schedule release in effect on the date of service.

What to check

  • Confirm the base visit and G2211 were both priced with the same locality, setting, and release.
  • Check the modifier 25 and preventive-service rules for the date of service; they changed after G2211 started paying separately.
  • Whether the ongoing care relationship qualifies is a separate question from how much Medicare pays once the add-on applies.

Compare against 99213, 99214 and G0439: their amounts are in Related codes.

G2211 became reportable, but remained bundled

For qualifying longitudinal-care visits, G2211 could be reported with any new- or established-patient office/outpatient visit level, 99202-99205 or 99211-99215. Medicare assigned it bundled status, so it did not produce separate payment.

Who bills G2211 to Medicare

Observed CY2024 Medicare fee-for-service billing, by the rendering clinician's CMS specialty. Each share is that specialty's slice of all observed services for this code that year.

Setting split that year: 90% Office (non-facility) · 10% facility. CMS publishes only this facility vs non-facility split, never the exact place of service. The Office (non-facility) figure does not identify urgent care or any other specific setting.

CY2024 Medicare fee-for-service only, from the CMS Physician & Other Practitioners dataset, which suppresses rows under 11 beneficiaries. We omit specialty groups with fewer than 30 observed clinicians, so the shares can fall short of 100%. Specialty and practice-type pages linked elsewhere on this page are curated code lists, not utilization claims.

Source & method

Show sources

This page uses CMS's Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Q2 2023 release (effective April 2023). National baselines use GPCI 1.000 and exclude sequestration. Whether a national amount exists depends on the status and CMS’s payment instructions; blank RVUs are never treated as zero. Past releases are never edited, so these sources stay valid after CMS publishes a newer one. CMS owns the code description shown for HCPCS Level II codes. Our methodology explains sourcing, parsing, versioning, and how we cross-check claims before we publish them.

The citation names the release, so anyone can check it even after CMS publishes a newer one.
