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. But good news, the new 2021 guidelines will be used for all E/M codes as of 1/1/2023.
