Start with these three plays

The fastest wins from the whole guide, surfaced up front. Each links to the full explanation and the wording you can paste into a note.

Play 1
New patient establishing ongoing care
Add G2211 on visits where you hold ongoing responsibility for the problem. It drops on ordinary procedure days with modifier 25; CMS allows narrow preventive exceptions such as the annual wellness visit.
Play 2
Referred patient, no follow-up
A new patient sent for your opinion that you will not follow can often be coded as a consultation, which commercial payers pay more for.
Play 3
A procedure plus a real evaluation
When you inject a joint and also evaluate the problem, code both with modifier 25. Show the evaluation stood on its own or addressed a separate diagnosis.
