The American Medical Association (AMA) and the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) are planning major revisions to office and outpatient E/M codes 99201-99215 in 2021. The rationale behind these changes is to reduce the confusion and frustration among coders and providers that has been prevalent over the years in determining the appropriate level of service based on the documentation. The AAPC provides a comprehensive overview of 2021 criteria for Evaluation & Management coding, that can be found at: https://www.aapc.com/evaluation-management/em-codes-changes-2021.aspx
Please contact HuTech Resources to review these changes and how they impact your practice and existing workflows.
