The annual coding changes for CPT® and Medicare that become effective on January 1, 2021, are now published and available for review.  This webinar will review those changes to include additions, revisions, and deletions.  We will also take a look at one of the biggest changes to Evaluation and Management (E/M) in over 20 years with new documentation requirements for office and outpatient visits that are published in CPT® affecting all insurance carriers along with a new prolonged service code to use in addition to these visits.  The Physicians Fee Schedule and NCCI policy manual implementations will also be important to see because they are followed not only by Medicare but many commercial insurance companies.  We will be sharing the most up to date coding information in order for providers to be reporting services in compliance and receiving maximum reimbursement, two critical parts of any provider practice.
