UCR 228: G0559 clarification, GC Modifier Explained, and G2211 documentation suggestion.
January 24, 2025
Scott, Mark, and Dr. Ray Painter address questions submitted to the PRS Network.
- I recently attended your Billing and Coding conference in Las Vegas this past December.
I need clarification on New CPT code G0559, can someone please contact me as soon as possible. - From a coding perspective, I have a question regarding the GC modifier for a teaching facility. Also, is there a difference between the coding perspective and the compliance side of the question?
How crucial is adding the modifier GC to the encounter when a patient is seen by both the Resident and the Faculty member? - Appreciate any insight y'all can provide.
- My coder is requiring me to add a statement for G2211 codes.
- "E and M visit today is associated with current or anticipated ongoing medical care services related to a patient's single serious condition or complex condition."
Is this necessary? Reading the CMS guidelines they say no. They are worried about "Bulletproof" Documentation. I am coding these with many of my follow up patient who have chronic BPH, OAB, ED and cancer. Thoughts on how to respond to them?
