Procedure code 99205 refers to a Level 5 (the highest level) New Patient office visit. I am on this page myself because I have just been denied a claim to my insurance company from an office that used this code. The insurance company claims that the code is "unlisted," while the doctor's office insists that this is the only new patient code they ever use.

Our system is so, so broken.
Best of luck.

Explain Medical code 99205 with ref to Hepatitis B?

99205 is a CPT code for: Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient with a comprehensive history and examination, and medical decision making of high complexity. This level of service is the highest of 5 levels. A physician encountering a patient with a disease of high severity such as Hepatitis B would typically or most likely provide complex treatment and care, thus warranting the use of this level 5 code.
