Episode 1: 2023 Changes to E/M Codes

Significant changes were made to CPT's evaluation and management codes for 2023! The method of selecting codes has completely changed--from using the key components (history, examination, and medical decision making) to using only time and medical decision making.

These changes may seem overwhelming at first, but once you care familiar with them, selecting a code will be easier.

This episode discusses the changes to the key components. Episode 2 will discuss changes made to specific categories of codes such as hospital and observation codes. For a complete list of changes, see ⁠⁠https://www.ama-assn.org/system/files/2023-e-m-descriptors-guidelines.pdf⁠⁠

I also have books available on Amazon on ICD-10-CM, ICD-10-PCS and E/M coding. See ⁠https://www.amazon.com/s?k=tropin&i=stripbooks&ref=nb_sb_noss_1⁠
