Revised CPT® codes and associated documentation for office/outpatient evaluation and management (E/M) services are now in effect. Dr. Ronald Devine and Dr. Prashant Malhotra, IDSA members and CPT code experts, explain the revisions and how to navigate the changes. This webinar was created specifically for infectious diseases physicians. Using real-world clinical examples derived from patient encounters with infectious diseases physicians, the panelists discuss how to choose the appropriate E/M code level based on chart documentation, medical decision making and other factors. The panelists cover several topics including how to choose an E/M code level using medical decision making or time, a discussion of the elements associated with medical decision making such as the number and complexities of problems addressed, the amount and complexity of data reviewed and analyzed, and the level of risk associated with the patient encounter.
