This webinar on CPT code changes will discuss any and all changes being made to the E/M service CPT codes relative to 2013 CPT, effective from January 1, 2013.

Why Should You Attend:

Each year the AMA makes additions and changes to the Evaluation and Management services CPT codes. 2013 is no different. There are 82 revisions related to the E/M services that change the descriptions of many E/M services for the provider of the service to include non physician providers. There are 7 additional codes being added for 2013. It is also important to verify reimbursement assignment and changes that may affect RVU values based on the AMA RUC(Relative Unit Committee) review.

This webinar will discuss the AMA RUC recommendations submitted to CMS. We will also cover an area where CMS is expanding the description of new E/M CPT codes to fit their needs. The CPT Introduction Guidelines contain clarification for CPT Codes related to time for any E/M services that are based on time, as well as any other timed based code in CPT. The place of service is also a required field on the CMS-1500 claim form, and we will review the addition of a new place of service. We will discuss any and all changes being made to the E/M service CPT codes relative to 2013 CPT effective on January 1, 2013.

Areas Covered in the Webinar:

• The addition of “qualified healthcare professional” to many E/M services.
• Review and rationales of 7 new CPT codes in the E/M services section.
• RVU changes to E/M services for 2013, if any
