ASCRS/ASOA Release Guidance on Use of the G2211 Add-on Code
ASCRS and ASOA prepared guidance for ophthalmic practices on the use of the new G2211 Office and Outpatient (O/O) Evaluation and Management (E/M) Visit Complexity Add-on Code, which went into effect January 1, 2024.
Click here to download a PDF of this guidance document.
The guidance provides greater clarity on how and when to use the new G2211 code, which is an additional payment to the O/O E/M visit primary service codes to better account for the additional resources of visits associated with:
- Serving as the continuing focal point for all of the patients’ healthcare services needs;
- Ongoing medical care related to a patient’s single, serious condition, or complex condition.
Among other points, the guidance notes that the G2211 code may be used with all levels of O/O E/M visits, cannot be used with eye code (92002-92014) claims, and is not payable when the associated O/O E/M visit is reported with modifier -25. CMS does not expect to see G2211 when an E/M visit is reported with modifiers -24 and/or -53.
Please review the guidance for ophthalmic-specific vignettes on how to use the code and examples of when the code should not be billed.
