2. Core Operational Strategies

01

"2-Day Code" Safety Net

Before 2026, stopping before 16 days meant losing all device costs. The new 99445 classification allows reimbursement for 2-15 days, establishing a crucial financial floor for hardware programs.

02

Monetizing Fragmented Time

Previously, 12 minutes of care was unbillable ($0). The new 99470 (10-19 mins) code ensures even brief, effective interactions are reimbursed (~$23), covering clinical labor costs.

03

Mandatory "Real-Time"

CMS 2026 clarifies that management codes (99457/99470) must include synchronous contact (phone/video). Passive text/chart review is high-risk. Mandate 1 live call/month.
