Chapter by Chapter Review of Code: Additions, Deletions, and Modifications
Each year changes to the HCPCS coding system occur. This includes changes to both individual HCPCS codes such as what we use for injectable. Additionally, changes to the CPT coding are released with revisions and deletions and deletions. This year there are 329 changes to the 2021 code set including 206 new codes, 54 deletions, and 60 revisions. The changes take effect on January 1, 2021. This webinar by expert speaker Jill M. Young will be on the code changes to CPT that are non Evaluation and Management. The changes to 99201-99215 will be briefly discussed.
