HCPCS G2211 Defined and Explained. Implementation Tips for Urology and Other Medical Practices

[@pamelawhite5107]

I just started using G2211 with Hem/Onc encounters. I ind this code hard to explain to my specialists. It seems to be a good add on or continuing care or anemias and other blood disorders, and, o course, or ongoing malignancy treatments. I appreciate Dr. Lin's explanations. He is very comprehensible.

Thanks John, Still confusing but I will be using it. I have to educate my biller.

We jumped on and started using G2211 the first day we returned to the office on January 3rd. We are also using it for Commercial payers as a test. We don't expect the Commercial payers to be on board yet. But, if there is even one plan reimbursing this code, we will not leave any money on the table.

Brilliant! We've been paid for G2211 already by Medicare.

Is there a cap placed on how much an office can charge for this? I read somewhere that it is what you stated $16.04….yet my office is charging me $18.34 in Scottsdale. Is this wrong?

[@JCLinMD]

I've heard private payers paying $24. You may be under-valuing the code.

So this is a junk fee?

[@JCLinMD]

Not a junk fee at all. It's to compensate for all the under paymemt all these years!

[@NunchakuNinja]

@JCLinMD I consider it a junk fee. Doctors already earn a substantial income, and adding this fee, especially in today's economy, is unwarranted. It seems like another way for doctors to increase their earnings, reflecting a trend of growing greed. On average, doctors see over 51 patients a day. Calculate that over a year, and it's clear how much extra income this fee generates annually.

The property management company I rent from added a junk fee this year that benefits them, not the renters. My rent is listed as $1250 per month, but they've added a $38 monthly fee, making the actual cost $1288. What is this world coming to?
