E/M 2023: Advancing landmark revisions across more settings of care
On Nov. 1, 2019, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized a historic provision in the 2020 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule. This provision included revisions to the Evaluation and Management (E/M) office visit Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) codes (99201-99215) code descriptors and documentation standards that directly address the continuing problem of administrative burden for physicians in nearly every specialty, from across the country.
Now that these landmark revisions have been implemented, the CPT Editorial Panel has approved, for 2023, additional revisions to the rest of the E/M code section to provide continuity across all the E/M sections. Beginning Jan. 1, 2023, revisions implemented in the E/M office visit section in 2021 will extend to all other E/M sections—including emergency department services, home and residence services, inpatient services and nursing facility services.
On Aug. 9, join the American Medical Association for an authoritative introduction to the E/M code descriptors and guidelines for 2023, delivered by CPT® Editorial Panel Member Barbara Levy, MD, and AMA/Specialty Society Relative Value Scale Update Committee (RUC) Member Peter Hollmann, MD.
