Prolonged Outpatient Visit Time, Each Extra 15 Minutes

Rhode Island rates for HCPCS 99417

When an outpatient visit is billed on the basis of the total time the doctor or other qualified professional spent on it, this covers each further 15 minutes beyond the time the main visit already accounts for. The time counted takes in work done on the day of the visit without the patient present, such as reviewing records and writing up the notes. It is billed in addition to the main visit and applies to outpatient visits generally, not only to visits in an office.
