What cannot be billed the same day as 99483
Because 99483 is a comprehensive service that already bundles a high-complexity assessment, several codes cannot be reported on the same day. Reporting an excluded code alongside 99483 is a common denial cause — this page lists them and the reason.
The same-day exclusion list
- Office/outpatient E/M: 99201–99215 (note 99201–99202 are historical).
- Advance care planning: 99497 and 99498.
- Psychotherapy add-on / interactive complexity: 90785.
- Psychiatric diagnostic evaluation: 90791, 90792.
- Health-behavior and neuropsychological/psychological testing: 96103, 96120, 96127.
- Domiciliary/rest-home E/M: 99324–99337.
- Home-visit E/M: 99341–99350.
- Team conferences: 99366–99368.
Why these are excluded
CPT 99483 already includes comprehensive history and examination with medical decision making of moderate-to-high complexity — the components that would otherwise be captured by a high-level office/outpatient E/M. Reporting 99201–99215 the same day would double-count that work.
Similarly, advance care planning (99497/99498) and the listed cognitive/behavioral testing codes describe work that is already an element of, or bundled into, the 99483 comprehensive service. The advance care plan is one of the required components of 99483 itself.
What you CAN add or bill same-day
The Annual Wellness Visit (G0438/G0439) can be billed the same day as 99483 using modifier 25 — see the dedicated guide. And G2212 (prolonged services) may be added when the visit exceeds 60 minutes and prolonged-service criteria are met. Always confirm current payer rules for your setting and year.
Frequently asked questions
What cannot be billed on the same day as 99483?
Office/outpatient E/M (99201–99215), advance care planning (99497, 99498), 90785, 90791, 90792, 96103, 96120, 96127, domiciliary/rest-home E/M (99324–99337), home-visit E/M (99341–99350), and team conferences (99366–99368).
Why can’t you bill an office visit (99213/99214/99215) with 99483 the same day?
Because 99483 already includes comprehensive history and examination with moderate-to-high complexity medical decision making — the components of a high-level office/outpatient E/M. Reporting both would double-count the same work.
Can you bill advance care planning (99497) with 99483?
Not on the same day. Advance care planning is one of the required components of the 99483 service, so 99497/99498 cannot be separately reported the same day.
Can the AWV be billed with 99483?
Yes — the Annual Wellness Visit can be billed the same day as 99483 with modifier 25 on the 99483. That is an exception to the same-day exclusions.
Can G2212 prolonged services be added to 99483?
Yes. G2212 may be added when the visit exceeds 60 minutes and prolonged-service criteria are met.
