What is CPT Code G0511?

CPT G0511 is defined as: HCPCS G0511 was previously used by Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) and Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) as a composite code for general care management services, including CCM, RPM, and BHI.

2026 CMS Policy Intelligence

termination rationale

CMS sunsetted G0511 to ensure that FQHCs and RHCs are reimbursed equitably for high-intensity services (like Complex CCM) which were previously underpaid under the blended G0511 rate.

unbundling opportunity

Facilities performing high-complexity care management will see a revenue increase by billing specific codes (e.g., 99487) rather than the lower blended rate of G0511.

conversion factor

Payment for the replacement codes utilizes the 2026 Non-QP rate of $33.40.
