A complex medical specific re-assessment is a re-assessment of a patient because of the complexity, obscurity, or seriousness of the patient’s condition. It includes all the requirements of a medical specific re-assessment (a full, relevant history and physical examination of one or more systems).
Must include all elements of a medical specific re-assessment: a full, relevant history and physical examination of one or more systems.
The physician must report findings, opinions, or recommendations in writing to the patient’s primary care physician.
Usage limits
Limited to 4 per patient per physician per 12-month period. This limit is shared with medical specific assessments (A483).

A481 is intended for the ongoing management of complex disorders and is not for the initial evaluation of a patient.

If the usage limit of 4 per 12 months is exceeded, the fee is adjusted to a lesser assessment fee.

A481 is distinct from A480 (Complex rheumatology assessment), which is reserved for specific diseases like systemic vasculitides and has different limits and rules.
