Coding references
General and family medicine: the codes and the rules.
Three tables for a primary care practice, each one a coder can check against the 2025 CMS and ICD-10-CM files, and the notes that come up every week.
The tables.
The notes a coder repeats.
- G2211 (0.33 work RVUs) is Medicare's add-on for the visit that anchors an ongoing relationship; it is not reported with modifier 25 on the same claim.
- A preventive visit and a problem visit on the same day are both billable when the problem work is significant and documented separately (modifier 25 on the E/M).
- Chronic care management (99490, 99439) and transitional care management (99495, 99496) are time-based codes that need the practice's call log and care plan as documentation.

Screening forms your clinicians approve, the on-call paged with answers, and every call booked or handed back as a task.
