Revisions to the CPT E/M Office Visits: New Ways to Report Using Time

Substantive revisions are being made to the CPT codes related to office and other outpatient services, collectively known as the Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes. These changes, designed to address administrative burden in clinical practice, will be announced in November 2019 and impact nearly every medical specialty. Understanding when these changes are coming, and their benefits and impacts, is essential for all members of the care team. This second module, in a series of three, will provide detailed information on how the upcoming revisions to the CPT E/M office visits will affect time. Important revisions are coming to this key element and having an understanding of how you will report it, under this new coding construct, will be critical to managing both your practice and patients.
