Medical coders will get a bit of a reprieve next year when it comes to learning new procedure codes. The CPT® Editorial Panel approved fewer new codes for 2021 than usual. This is a relief considering all the coding and guideline changes being implemented Jan. 1 for evaluation and management (E/M) services. CPT focused on new Technology Codes in 2021 and Terry gives you the rundown to include:
* 329 editorial changes
* 206 new codes
* 69 revised code descriptors
* 54 deleted codes
