Ask a Rev Cycle Expert: E/M Codes for Telephone Encounters?
Now that we're in 2021, for E/M codes, now pre-visit planning, actual time with the patient, care coordination can be counted into the total time to bill. However, does this also ring true for the Telephone E/M codes? For everything we can count time for 99201-99205 and 99212-99215, can we also count the same things for 99441-99443, or can we only strictly count the time spent talking to the patient for 99441-99443?
