Uptake of new Medicare G2211 code slower than projected by CMS

MedicalXpress | Apr 07, 2026

A retrospective study of outpatient visits found that use of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) G2211 add-on code has grown steadily since inception in 2024 but remains well below federal expectations. By mid-2025, the code appeared on about 27% of outpatient Medicare evaluation and management visits, short of early projections that more than one-third of such encounters would qualify.
