Description :
The CPT E/M Companion 2023 is the definitive AMA-authored
supplement reference guide to the Current Procedural Terminology
(CPT(R)) 2023 Professional Edition. It is designed to help users
understand the changes to certain evaluation and management
(E/M) services how to report these new and revised or consolidated
codes and how to apply the revised and new guidelines effective Jan
1, 2023. To enable consistency with the 2021 revisions to the E/M
office and other outpatient codes, the 2023 E/M changes will provide
users with a streamlined set of E/M guidelines that apply across

multiple sites of service revisions to code descriptors that reflect the
structure approved in the office visit revisions and a uniform Medical
Decision Making (MDM) table for all the sites of services noted, as
well as office or other outpatient visits. This AMA-authored
publication is designed with intermediate users in mind. Therefore,
this publication's content is written and organized in a manner that
will make sense to all intermediate users familiar with the E/M
section of the CPT code set. To conserve space and to maximize the
value-added content, this publication does not reproduce most of
the tables or guidelines in the CPT 2023 Professional Edition. In
addition to the CPT E/M Companion 2023, the AMA has also created
a special section for E/M 2023 in the CPT Knowledge Base. For more
information on this you can go to ama-assn.org/cpt-knowledgebase.
