Confusion About New 2021 E/M Guidelines

Question:

The new guidelines that are coming out in 2021 for all types of E/M services, right?

Answer:

No. The new guidelines are for office/outpatient visit codes only (99202-99215). You will still need to use the current guidelines for all other E/M services, even consultations in the office.
