What to say on the phone

"I'd like the self-pay price for CPT 99215, in writing, and whether it covers facility, physician and anesthesia."

About established patient office visit (about 40 minutes)

CPT 99215 is the highest level of office visit for an established patient: around 40 minutes, high complexity, usually a serious problem or several chronic conditions reviewed at once. It is billed for follow-up visits that involve significant decisions, not for routine check-ins.

What the price covers

When a hospital lists this code, it is the price at a hospital-owned clinic, which may add a facility fee to the clinician's fee. Tests and procedures during the visit are separate.

Established-patient levels

  • 99212: about 10 minutes, straightforward
  • 99213: about 20 minutes, low complexity (the most common visit)
  • 99214: about 30 minutes, moderate complexity
  • 99215: about 40 minutes, high complexity (this page)

Most follow-ups are 99213 or 99214. If you are routinely billed 99215 for short visits, ask why.

Why prices vary

Facility fees at hospital-owned practices are the main reason the same visit costs more at some places. Cash prices are often well below gross charges.

Questions to ask

  • What is the self-pay price for 99215, and is there a facility fee?
  • Which level is typically billed for my follow-ups?
  • What is billed separately?
