Session Topic
Making Sense of Five Sets of Guidelines, Payer Adoption, and Provider Acceptance
2020 Evaluation and Management Symposium: Virtual Conference
Presented Wednesday, September 23, 2020
Summary
The time to get started on making sense of the guidelines to be utilized for Evaluation and Management coding in 2021 has arrived! Did not believe things could get any more complicated? Think again! The good news is that documentation requirements for healthcare providers will be positively impacted by the 20201 guidelines for codes 99202-99215. CMS is concentrating on reducing administrative burdens and relaxing documentation requirements by implementing more flexibility and making changes to the payment structure for this series of codes. This change, however positive, also means that we must now use 5 sets of guidelines. This session will present a brief history of current guidelines and guide you through a review of the major changes for 2021 including important information published by the AMA and CMS that will help you unravel the details and best prepare for successful documentation and claims submissions in 2021. There is good news and bad news, but most important will be to have a clear understanding of what your office must implement in just a few short months.
