CCEP Lesson 9 Module 4 Homework – Care Plan Oversight Services 99374-99380

After being discharged from the hospital, your doctor ordered home health services for his patient Sally S. Her diabetes again became a significant problem. With the help of home health nursing, he was able to keep her out of the hospital. He spent 45 minutes over the course of her first post-hospital month discussing care and changing the care plan with the home health nurse. He did not see Sally during that month; she was too frail to come to the office. Assign the CPT code for your physician’s services.

CPT codes 99374-99380 should always be reported for supervision of patients in nursing facilities or under the care of home health agencies.

A  50-year-old female has brain cancer, and the physician supervised the coordination of hospice services, which required 45 minutes of his time. Assign the CPT code(s).

The complexity and time of the care plan oversight services provided within a  period determine code selection.

A 75-year-old patient was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. This means that the patient will have to give himself insulin shots. The physician supervised the coordination of home health care, which required 30 minutes of his time. Assign the CPT code(s).
