Wiki NEW E & Ms for 2013

[maryjanehorton]

Any new codes for 2013?

My doctor says that a new code was added for hospital follow up in the office.

i.e. see patient in hospital and then after discharge the patient is seen in the
office for follow up.

Thanks

MJ

Look at 99495 and 99496. Then search this board; there are at least 2 threads that discuss these codes in detail.

If your doctor is asking you about new codes, he should ante up and get you new books every year!
