UCR 270: The G2211 Payment Problem – Coding Mistakes That Hurt More Than You Think


Listen Later

January 2, 2026 

In this episode, Scott, Mark, and Dr. John Lin dive into the complexities of billing G2211, the Medicare add-on code for complex E/M visits, which now pays nearly $18 per use. They unpack a real-world case where a hospital system’s blanket use of modifier 25 is preventing employed physicians from getting reimbursed for G2211, potentially costing them thousands in RVUs. The discussion covers payer-specific rules, how to appeal inappropriate denials, how contract structure affects physician compensation, and when to fight for carve-outs. They also explore why every urology practice should reassess payer mix and drop underperforming contracts when appropriate.
