CPT 99304 vs. Other Nursing Facility Services Codes

The CPT 99304 code is part of the Evaluation and Management services used for Nursing Facility Services. It represents a moderate-complexity encounter and is one of several codes that vary based on time spent, level of medical decision-making, and documentation requirements.

The CPT 99304 code involves more provider time and moderate medical decision-making, unlike lower-level codes that require less time and simpler assessments.
