Explain Medical code 99205 with ref to Hepatitis B?

Answer 1

99205 is a CPT code for: Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient with a comprehensive history and examination, and medical decision making of high complexity.

This level of service is the highest of 5 levels. A physician encountering a patient with a disease of high severity such as Hepatitis B would typically or most likely provide complex treatment and care, thus warranting the use of this level 5 code.
