New E/M visit complexity add-on code G2211 can enhance payment for office-based services

By AOA Staff

CMS has created a new office/outpatient (O/O) evaluation and management (E/M) visit complexity add-on code to improve payment for the time, intensity and practice expense resources involved when physicians furnish E/M office visit services that enable them to build longitudinal relationships with patients. The AOA has developed a range of new resources to educate physicians on how to properly bill this new code, which presents an opportunity to substantially improve payment. Physicians can view the AOA’s new on-demand webinar series, download the AOA’s resource on 2024 physician fee schedule changes or refer to this Medicare Learning Network (MLN) article on G2211. CMS is still in the process of developing additional guidance, and AOA will share the latest information as it becomes available. Be sure to check out The DO to learn more about the G2211 code.
