Wiki G2211

[rhicks1023]

I am curious if there are any offices using the new G2211 code for a specialist office that is treating the patient for one illness considered "serious", i.e., chronic kidney disease for instance.

I worked for cardiology and we voted against it for now

We have started using in gynonc for cancer patients that we are managing chemotherapy and/or other ongoing treatment.
We may be very occasionally using for urogyn if we are managing ongoing severe prolapses.
It's too early for me to know if any commercial carriers will be paying. So for now, we are using for all carriers, with adjustments to the workflow as needed.

Hi, I am just curious to know on why you are not considering it.

We have patients coming into our Cardiologist office with issues of HTN, CHF and other Venous insufficiency and much more for which they have been followed up on a regular long-term basis. Would that be sufficient enough for us to consider G2211?

I would agree that a cardiologist treating and managing long term chronic conditions would meet the "medical care services that are part of ongoing care related to a patient's single, serious condition or a complex condition" portion of G2211. I see no reason why specialists could not use this code when appropriate.
Just don't forget this is a Medicare created HCPCS code and we are already seeing denials from other payors.

We are a Rheumatology office and we are using the G2211 as well

We are Oncology and we have been using it only for Medicare plans. All other plans are denying it.
