Hello,
Anybody billing G0506 Comprehensive assessment of and care planning for patients requiring chronic care management services?
1. What documentation should the provider be doing? What's considered extensive?
2. Should the diagnoses be the same between what the provider discussed for G0506 and what they will be following with the CCM services for 99490?
3. When a provider sees the patient for an E/M visit for their chronic conditions what more would they have to do to justify billing G0506 in addition? Create care plans with more documentation than what they normally do?
4. What if a provider billed a Medicare wellness, E/M, and G0506? Is this appropriate? Aren't they already going over their chronic conditions (assessment, plan, etc) for the E/M visit? What would they have to do more to justify billing G0506?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
