For some categories of prevention and coordination services, the full range of payment amounts are shown if there are multiple codes representing initial versus subsequent service delivery, different time requirements, or complexity. See Supplement Table 4 for an itemized list of payment codes.

There is no estimate available for receipt of some services. In particular, the codes for wellness visits, chronic care management, behavioral health integration, and cognitive assessment with care planning services require a suite of services that are not routinely provided.
