CPT® Code 99050

Services provided in the office at times other than regularly scheduled office hours, or days when the office is normally closed (eg, holidays, Saturday or Sunday), in addition to basic service

The CPT® Code 99050 refers to services rendered in a medical office during times that fall outside of the standard office hours or on days when the office is typically closed. This includes services provided on weekends, holidays, or any other time that is not part of the regular schedule. The code is utilized to indicate that the healthcare provider is delivering basic medical services under these special circumstances, which may require additional considerations for scheduling and staffing. The use of this code helps to ensure that healthcare providers are appropriately compensated for the extra effort and resources involved in providing care during non-standard hours, thereby recognizing the unique challenges associated with such services.
