Care coordination is included in several programs; however, some codes are specifically intended to incorporate care coordination work across patients and populations.

Care often includes multiple clinical conditions and complex social determinants.

CPT 99489 – Each Additional 30 Minutes (Add-On)

Extra time must be distinct from the previous time and properly documented.

The physician or QHP must personally provide and document the time without clinical staff assistance.

HCPCS Codes (e.g., G0506, G0511, G0512)

For FQHCs and RHCs, care coordination services utilize G-codes, as CMS has established equivalents for these settings.

Who Can Bill Care Coordination CPT Codes?

Physicians (MDs/DOs)
Nurse Practitioners (NPs)
Physician Assistants (PAs)
Certified Nurse Midwives (CNMs)
Clinical Nurse Specialists (CNSs)

Clinical staff (e.g., RNs, MAs) may provide the service under general supervision, but billing must be submitted under the supervising provider.
