Question:
The guidelines that came out in 2021 for E/M services is for all types of E/M services, right?

Answer:
No. The 2021 E/M guidelines are for office/outpatient visit codes only (99202-99215). You will still need to use the 1995/1997 guidelines for all other E/M services, even consultations in the office.
