Additional 25 minutes beyond base time

99417 is used for prolonged services with office/home E/M codes

99204 – Office visit (wrong location)

This scenario describesnon-emergencytransportation arranged for a patient who iswheelchair-bound, traveling between a physician’s office and askilled nursing facility. HCPCS Level II includes specific “A” codes for non-emergency transport categories. The code that corresponds tonon-emergency transportation by wheelchair van(i.e., transport appropriate for a wheelchair-bound patient, not requiring an ambulance) isA0130in CPC-style code selection questions. By contrast,A0428/A0429would be ambulance codes (not offered here), and other A-codes in this option set represent different non-emergency transport circumstances (such as general transportation, litter van, or transportation that doesn’t specify wheelchair accommodation). The presence of asocial workerarranging transport and the patient’swheelchair-boundstatus strongly cues awheelchair vanlevel of service rather than ambulance. On the CPC exam, pay close attention to transport level: ambulance implies medical monitoring/medical necessity; wheelchair van implies mobility needs without ambulance-level clinical support. Therefore, the correct HCPCS Level II transportation code isA0130.
