Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

99377 is the correct code for the supervision of a hospice patient that takes between 15-29 minutes per month.
Answers 99374 and 99375 are incorrect codes because these codes are used for the supervision of patients in a home health, domiciliary or equivalent environment. Code 99378 is incorrect because, although this code is used for supervision of hospice patients, it is meant for those patients that need more than 30 minutes of supervised care per month.
