What is the 99350 CPT code?
CPT code 99350 is used to report an established patient encounter during a home or residence visit that involves a high level of medical decision-making or when the total time spent on the encounter on a single date is 60 minutes or more.
This code falls under the Evaluation and Management (E/M) category and is specifically for services provided in a patient's home or other residential setting (including assisted living facilities, group homes, custodial care facilities, and residential substance abuse treatment facilities).
Furthermore, the code includes patients with multiple or unstable conditions, complex medication management, or a high risk of morbidity. The visit must be medically necessary and not for convenience.
Healthcare providers commonly use this code in geriatrics, palliative care, or complex chronic disease management at home.
