    HCPCS Level II code G0660 represents a team-based remote evaluation and management (E/M) service for a new patient lasting approximately 10 minutes, delivered by a clinical care team rather than a single clinician; the service type is team remote E/M and the typical site of service is remote/telehealth or clinician office support for virtual care workflows.

    Clinical & Coding Specifications

    Clinical Context

    A typical patient scenario involves a new patient referred to a primary care or specialty practice for an initial evaluation following a recent hospitalization or an acute change in health. The practice uses team-based care and remote electronic health record (EHR) patient review to perform an initial problem-focused assessment and management that takes approximately 10 minutes of non-face-to-face clinical staff time under physician or qualified health care professional oversight. The workflow: a nurse or care coordinator reviews incoming records, messages, and outside notes; gathers relevant clinical data in the EHR; triages issues; and presents findings to the supervising clinician. The clinician reviews the summarized information, documents medical decision-making, updates the problem list, and initiates any necessary orders or follow-up. Communication to the patient may occur via secure patient portal message or telephone if needed. Typical sites of service include ambulatory outpatient clinics and hospital-based outpatient departments where remote team-based electronic management is used prior to or in lieu of a synchronous visit. The service commonly applies when establishing care with a new patient using 10 minutes of cumulative team E/M time spent on remote review and management activities documented in the medical record.
