Evaluation and Management (E/M) Code Changes 2021 - AAPC
WEBTo understand the 2021 E/M coding changes, you need to know the basics of how E/M coding worked previously. AMA’s 2020 CPT ® code set included guidelines on using patient history, clinical examination, and medical decision making (MDM) to determine the correct level of E/M codes.
WEBThe CPT/RUC Workgroup on E/M is committed to changing the current coding and documentation requirements for office E/M visits to simplify the work of the health care provider and improve the health of the patient.
WEBThe new E/M level of service codes are based on either MDM or time, and do not take into account discrete documentation of the review of systems (ROS) or physical exam. Extensive clarifications and simplifications were provided in the guidelines to define the elements of MDM.
WEBIn an effort to reduce burden and improve payment for cognitive care, the American Medical Association along with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) have implemented key changes to office and outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) services starting on January 1, 2021.
