Home visits are billed when a physician/NP/PA renders a service in a private residence. The CPT codes are 99341-99345 (new patient) or 99347-99350 (established patient) and you use a place of service code 12 for home. If you look on the medicare fee schedule you can see what they will reimburse for these visits. Remember that if the NP or PA sees the patient they will only be reimbursed at 85% of the medicare rate. Good luck

Can a Certified Medical Assistant perform the home visit? For instance: the assistant is at the home and calls( via the EHR software) the MD. The CMA would get vitals, draws blood if needed and the MD diagnoses the patient and sends necessary meds.
