Hi all,
Does anyone have any good resources for the E/M new patient & established patient crosswalk? I have a few people in my agency who are adamant that a 99202 is the equivalent of a 99212; 99203 is the equivalent of 99213, etc. I have my CPT code book, but is there anything out there in black & white by the AMA or CMS I can use a reference to print out? I'm currently in the mental health agency, but have a family practice background and my experience and education has always taught me 99202 = 99213 (if est.), 99203 = 99214 (if est.)
Thank you![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
