Evaluation and Management (E/M) Office Visit CPT® Code Update
Wednesday, February 3, 2021
In an effort to lessen the administrative burden for providers, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) implemented revisions to the Evaluation and Management (E/M) office visit CPT® codes (99201–99215), effective Jan. 1, 2021. The American Medical Association (AMA) 2021 E/M updates include:
- Deletion of CPT® code 99201
- New guidelines specific to CPT® codes 99202–99215
We've updated our online authorization submission tools, CareAffiliate® and the Web Authorization and Referral Form (WARF), to reflect these changes. For more information regarding this update, visit
