Beginning this year, Medicare will make payment under the Physician Fee Schedule for HCPCS G2211, the outpatient intensity add-on code.
The impacts of the code were presented during a PYA webinar on February 7, 2024.
During the webinar, a panel of PYA experts, including Lori Foley, Valerie Rock, Angie Caldwell, and Martie Ross, discussed the requirements for this new code and its financial impact on physician practices. Topics of discussion included:
- Services to which the add-on code applies
- Who can bill the code and in what circumstances
- What practices stand to lose if they don’t bill the add-on code
- Documentation
- Potential audit risk areas
- Approaches to implementation
- Potential impact on physician compensation formulas
