Recorded April 20, 2023

First, CPT® updated its E/M code set. Then, CMS interpreted the updates and applied its own reimbursement rules to the code set. This webinar will summarize CPT® rules and CMS’s February 2023 transmittal that addresses inpatient and observation billing by the admitting and consulting physicians, admission to inpatient status following observation care, and multiple visits in a single day. Participants will hear about the similarities and differences in code selection between CMS and CPT®. This update includes changes from the 2023 CPT® code set and CMS’s February 2023 transmittal. The webinar will discuss when coding instruction is the same for CPT® and CMS and when it varies.

This webinar will not cover prolonged care, which is the topic for the March 2023 webinar.

After the presentation, participants will be able to:

  • Select the correct category of code for admitting physicians/NPPs
  • Know which codes consulting physicians use when treating Medicare patients in inpatient and observation settings
  • Report services that span midnight
