Important Updates to Evaluation and Management Services in 2023
The American Medical Association has released the new guidelines for Evaluation and Management (E/M) services which will go into effect on January 1, 2023. The guidelines have been updated to bring all the services in line with the 2021 Evaluation and Management changes to office and outpatient E/M CPT codes. More information regarding CMS’ take on the 2023 E/M changes can be found in the 2023 MPFS (Medicare Physician Fee Schedule) Proposed Rule. See ASCO’s summary.
