Office Visits
If the provider is spending at least 25 minutes with the patient and over 50% of that time is counseling and coordinating care, 99214 can be reported.
Provider must document time and describe the counseling/care coordination provided
Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics

Time is on Your Side!
Rules on Time Time is face-to-face time with the patient for
office and other outpatient visits and as unit/floor time for hospital and other inpatient visits
A unit of time is attained when the mid-point is passed◦ For example, an hour is attained when 31 minutes have elapsed
(more than midway between 0 and 60 minutes). A second hour is attained when a total of 91 minutes have elapsed.
When codes are ranked by typical times and the actual time is between two typical times, the code with the time closest to the actual time is used.
Tennessee Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
10
Time Example
99214 = 25 minutes99215 = 40 minutes
If the provider spends 35 minutes with the patient and over 50% of the time is spent in counseling/coordination of care, the provider can report 99215 because the time falls closer to 40 minutes than 25 minutes.
