My criteria is for the appointment to be regularly scheduled at 5pm or later. If it was scheduled for 4:30 and we are late, that doesn't count. This is a code to compensate you for having regularly scheduled hours during times considered "outside normal business hours."
There are about 5 of these 9905x codes for slightly different situations, for instance there is one for seeing patients after hours when you don't have regular hours at that time. And there is one basically for walk=ins, that is they walk in and are seen on your full schedule, disrupting your flow of seeing patients.
For 99051 we got about $25 I think when we get paid for it.
