Can G2211 be added to a new patient visit?


Editorial team Published on

Yes, you can use HCPCS code G2211 on a new patient if the provider intends to serve as the ongoing, longitudinal focal point for the patient's healthcare needs.

Billing Rules for New Patients

  • Base Codes: G2211 can be paired with new patient office or outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) codes 99202 through 99205.
  • Intent of Care: The provider must plan to maintain a long-term, trusting relationship rather than a discrete, one-time, or time-limited consultation.
  • Documentation: The medical record must reflect the intent for continuous, comprehensive care and management of the patient's health over time, even during the initial visit.
