About new patient office visit (about 60 minutes)

CPT 99205 is the highest new-patient office visit level: about an hour, high complexity, typically a serious or complicated diagnosis, multiple chronic conditions, or decisions about major treatment. It is common in oncology, cardiology and neurology first visits.

What the price covers

When a hospital lists it, this is the price at a hospital-owned clinic or outpatient department, often with a facility fee on top of the clinician's fee. Any tests, imaging or procedures ordered are separate.

Why prices vary

Prices for the same visit level differ mainly by ownership: hospital-owned practices add facility fees; independent practices do not. Academic medical centers list the highest charges. Cash prices are usually far below the gross charge.
