Resequencing of CPT® Codes
Introduction
The American Medical Association (AMA) uses a numbering
methodology for resequencing, which is the practice of
displaying codes outside of their numerical order.

Time-Based Coding:
Test Your Know-How
Ensure Your Provider is Documenting
Three Key Points for Billing on Time Alone
See if you can spot the problem with this chart entry. We
have noted in parentheses how you can pull out pieces
of the documentation to fulfill history, exam, and medical
decision making criteria:
Remember that counseling and coordination of care
must dominate the encounter.
Sample entry: A 10-year-old patient seen for asthma (chief
complaint) follow-up visit. She has been on albuterol inhaler
medication (HPI-modifying factor) for one month (HPIduration) but is not doing well and still has mild shortness
of breath and chest pain during physical education class
and sports (HPI-severity, timing, associated signs and
symptoms). The provider performs a pulmonary function
test. The patient has a history of chronic ear infections,
as well (past history). She has also noted problems with
appetite (ROS-constitutional) and sleep issues (ROSneurological or respiratory but not both) on days when she
has an asthma exacerbation. Physical examination consists
of a brief constitutional examination (can’t give credit here
as there are no details). Extensive counseling is done,
discussing additional ways she can try to decrease her
symptoms, and also to talk about proper inhaler dosing and
nebulizer treatments (counseling description). The physician
prescribes a Pulmicort® and albuterol for the nebulizer
(prescription drug management-table of risk-moderate)
(MDM risk: 2 pts) and a follow-up appointment is planned in
one month. Total face-to-face time is 25 minutes.

If you’re coding office visits based on the time your
physician spends with a patient providing counseling or
coordination of care, make sure he is documenting three
critical pieces of information – and we don’t mean history,
exam, and medical decision making. Otherwise, you’ll face
payer take-backs, or worse.
Even if your physician says that he spent over an hour with
a patient, you can’t automatically report 99215 (Office or
other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management
of an established patient … typically, 40 minutes are
spent face-to-face with the patient and/or family). Medical
record auditors hear it nearly every day from practitioners:
“You can’t downcode my claim! I spent an hour with that
patient, so I know I deserve a 99215.” Unfortunately, your
provider’s memory won’t hold up in court – only complete
documentation will.
Get It In Writing
D
Myth: Your physician’s argument that he spent a significant
amount of time counseling the patient justifies high-level codes.
Reality: The physician’s memory may be pristine, but it
can’t be relied upon if the payer asks for a refund due to
insufficient documentation. Instead, your provider must
note the time spent in the record.
Coding for a provider’s services must be based
exclusively on the documentation of the service. It is
imperative that the documentation accurately portrays
the services provided, not only for coding compliance
but also malpractice risk management. Payer reviews
often do not occur within a week of services. It is difficult
for providers to remember the specifics of a patient visit
a week ago, let alone a month ago, a year ago or even
several years ago!
Did you spot it? The problem with this record is that you
can’t use the 25 minutes of time spent without knowing how
much of that time was spent counseling.
Include Three Items in Documentation
Before using time as the controlling factor, check off the
following requirements that must be documented:
1. the total time spent with the patient
2. that more than 50 percent of the face-to-face time
the physician spent with the patient/and or family is
counseling/coordination of care. For instance, “Saw the
patient for 25 minutes face-to-face; 20 minutes of that
visit was spent in counseling.”
3. a description or summary of the counseling/coordination of
care provided. For the example above, you could consider,
“Done to address coping strategies for the patient’s
diagnosis of overactive bladder and treatment options.”
Official word: The Medicare Claims Processing Manual,
Chapter 12, Section 30.6.1.C states: The code selection is
based on the total time of the face-to-face encounter or floor
time, not just the counseling time. The medical record must
be documented in sufficient detail to justify the selection of
the specific code if time is the basis for selection of the code.
45
Evaluation and Management Coding Advice
Background: When medical auditors review E/M claims,
they typically code the reports based on history, exam,
and medical decision-making, unless the physician meets
the criteria to code a claim based on time spent with the
patient. However, full time auditors will tell you that they
hear from physicians at least once a day who argue that,
although their documentation may not support 99214s and
99215s, the codes are justified based on the fact that the
patient had many questions and counseling took up an
hour of their time.
2014 PROCEDURAL CODING ADVISOR
Provider documentation such as “I had a lengthy
discussion...” or “I spent a great deal of time with the
patient discussing...” does not support using the dominant
counseling/coordination of care as the basis for level of 
E/M service. 
You should only select an office visit code based on time
when your provider spends more than 50 percent of the
face-to-face time with the patient and/or family member on
counseling and/or coordination of care.
History: Detailed
•HPI: timing, severity, duration, modifying factors,
associated signs and symptoms = Extended
•ROS: Constitutional, neurological or respiratory =
Extended
•
PFSH: 1 element (past history) = Pertinent
Exam: None that can be used in counting the elements
Medical Decision Making: Low
•
Established problem, worsening = 2 points
•
Data: pulmonary function test = 1 point
RA
FT
Avoid templated documentation: While you want to
encourage your physician to document the time criteria
when time-based billing is most appropriate, you don’t
want your provider to go too far in the opposite direction.
Providers that include a templated statement in all of their
documentation, such as “I spent greater than 50% of the
___ visit counseling the patient” in which they routinely fill
in the blank with the time required for a level four or level
five service, risk repercussions during a payer review.
The documentation does not provide the required detail
regarding what the provider counseled the patient on.
to code the visit based on the documented history, exam,
and medical decision-making, as follows:
Key: Medical necessity must also be a key factor in your
code choice. Be sure that the time spent with the patient is
warranted. Just because the patient and provider talked for a
long time doesn’t mean it was medically necessary to do so.
Know Your Payer’s Rules
Example: There is a difference between CPT® and
Medicare regarding how to determine the level of E/M
service using the total service time. CPT® has published
this information in the CPT® Assistant: “In selecting
time, the physician must have spent a time closest
to the code selected,” whereas Chapter 12 of the
Medicare Claims Processing Manual states “The time
approximation must meet or exceed the specific CPT® code
billed (determined by the typical/average time associated
with the evaluation and management code) and should not
be “rounded’ to the next higher level.”
D
Evaluation and Management Coding Advice
The CPT® codes that can be billed based on time, such as
new and established office visit codes, contain a time within
their code descriptor. For example, level five new patient
code 99205 states “Typically, 60 minutes are spent face-toface with the patient and/or family.” Some payers consider
this time a minimum time that must be met, and others
consider it a general estimate and allow you to round up or
down to the closest specified time.
Use Elements When Time is Unknown
If your provider does not document the three elements
necessary for time-based code selection, you must look
at the history, exam, and medical decision making. When
the documentation does not support using time spent in
counseling and/or coordination of care, the level of service
must be soley determined on the documentation of the
three key components.
In the previous example, because the time spent in
counseling/coordinating care is unknown, you instead have
46
•Risk: Worsening problem and prescription drug
management = moderate
Code: 99213
Without knowing how much of the 25 minutes the provider
spent counseling, the key documented elements support
99213, not 99214.
Solution: Adding the actual time that the doctor spent on
counseling would indicate that the encounter meets timebased coding’s greater than 50 percent on counseling/and
or coordination of care criteria and would therefore justify a
99214 for this case.
Back to Basics:
Pay Attention to the Three-Year Rule
to Decide Between New vs. Established
Codes
The location of the encounter won’t be
the deciding factor.
Even before you start looking at the history, exam,
and medical decision making components of an office
visit, you first need to determine if the patient is new
or established. Whether you report 99211-99215
(Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and
management of an established patient …) or 9920199205 (Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation
and management of a new patient …) depends on the
answer. Understanding the essential three-year rule will
make that choice a breeze.
Take a look at what the experts have to say about when
— and how — to apply the infamous three-year criterion.

CPT® 2014 deleted 75960 as part of an introduction of a
new range of transcatheter intravascular stent placement
codes. New codes 37236-+37239 include radiological
supervision and interpretation along with stent placement
and any angioplasty performed.
The revisions to 93653 reflect changes made in the 2013
errata document. The code is marked as revised in CPT®
2014 to indicate the definition differs from the original
2013 published code definition. The changes clarify that
RV pacing and recording and His bundle recording aren’t
required for a service to meet the code definition, but they

99446-99449: New E/M Codes Capture
Documentation Discussions
Make Sure to Include a Written Report
Who knows if Medicare will pay, but you should be able to
bill some payers for your general surgeon’s interprofessional
consultation services beginning Jan. 1, 2014.
That’s because CPT® 2014 introduces four new codes that
describe the work of two medical professionals who discuss a
patient’s condition via phone or Internet, as follows:
•
•
•
99446 — Interprofessional telephone/Internet
assessment and management service provided by a
consultative physician including a verbal and written
report to the patient’s treating/requesting physician or
other qualified health care professional; 5-10 minutes of
medical consultative discussion and review
99447 — … 11-20 minutes of medical consultative
discussion and review
99448 — … 21-30 minutes of medical consultative
discussion and review
99449 — … 31 minutes or more of medical consultative
discussion and review.
These codes make sense as more and more health plans allow
for communication between physicians and patients via the
Internet. Codes 99446-99449 appear to be in recognition of
these situations. It affords the physician the ability to forward
patient information (securely) to another physician for opinion
and insight without having the patient come to all the different
appointments.
99481/99482 Replace Category III Codes
You’ll find two new neonate hypothermia codes among the E/M
code changes as well. CPT® 2014 adds the following:
•
99481 — Total body systemic hypothermia in a critically
ill neonate per day (List separately in addition to code for
primary procedure)
99482 — Selective head hypothermia in a critically ill
neonate per day (List separately in addition to code for
primary procedure).
D
•
These are highly specialized neonatal codes and are not used by
most pediatricians.
Appendix D: New Code Articles
These new codes seem to replace Category III codes 0260T
(Total body systemic hypothermia, per day, in the neonate 28
days of age or younger) and 0261T (Selective head hypothermia,
per day, in the neonate 28 days of age or younger), which will be
deleted in 2014.
Reminder: When a category III code exists to describe a service
or procedure, you must use that category III code — rather than an
unlisted procedure code — to describe the service when placing a
claim. So, why is this so important?
Category III CPT codes are temporary codes that describe
emerging technology, services, and procedures.
The primary purpose of these codes is to allow for data
collection, which in turn provides information for evaluating the
effectiveness of new technologies and the formation of public and
private policy. In other words, category III codes give insurers and
government policy makers a way to track the effectiveness and
rate-of-use of as yet unproven technologies, which could affect
future coverage decisions.

Last year, the CPT® Editorial panel announced four influenza vaccine
codes that went into effect in January, but they weren’t printed in the
CPT® book. However, this manual includes the codes, as follows:
•
•
•
90685 — Influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent, split
virus, preservative free, when administered to children
6-35 months of age, for intramuscular use
90686 — Influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent, split
virus, preservative free, when administered to individuals
3 years of age and older, for intramuscular use
90687 — Influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent, split
virus, when administered to children 6-35 months of age,
for intramuscular use
90688 — Influenza virus vaccine, quadrivalent, split
virus, when administered to individuals 3 years of age
and older, for intramuscular use.

New Vaccine Codes Help With Flu Shot Coding
•
These codes are essentially the quadrivalent version of codes
90655-90658, and most practices are looking forward to
administering them. Keep in mind, however, that there will be
supply and payment issues related to these new vaccine and it’s
unclear whether insurers will recognize them, and whether they
will pay enough to cover the cost given that the quadrivalent
vaccine will cost your practice more money. Medicare recently
assigned the prices of $23.228 to 90685 and $19.409 to 90686,
but payment amounts for 90687 and 90688 are still pending.
Although pediatric practices don’t typically bill Medicare, many
private payers do follow the agency’s lead on setting prices.
Caveat: Both 90687 and 90688 carry the lightning bolt symbol indicating
that FDA approval is pending. So check for FDA approval of each
vaccine represented by the code before using the associated code.
In addition, CPT® 2014 introduces new code 90673 (Influenza
virus vaccine, trivalent, derived from recombinant DNA (RIV3),
hemagglutinin (HA) protein only, preservative and antibiotic free,
for intramuscular use), which was released on July 1 of 2013.
Speech Evaluation Gets Specific
CPT® will also eliminate the vague code 92506 (Evaluation
of speech, language, voice, communication, and/or auditory
processing) that you’ve been using to evaluate patients’ speech
issues. Instead, 2014 brings heightened specificity to these
options, with the following new codes:
•
•
•
•
92521 — Evaluation of speech fluency (eg, stuttering,
cluttering)
92522 — Evaluation of speech sound production (eg,
articulation, phonological process, apraxia, dysarthria);
92523 — with evaluation of language comprehension
and expression (eg, receptive and expressive language)
92524 — Behavioral and qualitative analysis of voice
and resonance
Going forward, you will be able to more clearly differentiate
between your evaluations of stuttering (92521) and evaluations of
apraxia (92522) thanks to the new codes.
Stop Reporting 52332 With 52353 Starting in
January, Thanks to CPT® 2014
A new code will change your cystourethroscopy + lithotripsy +
stent coding.
Because there is a hold on diagnosis code changes until the
ICD-10 implementation, you escaped ICD-9 code changes in 2013.
But you won’t be able to avoid updating your coding entirely. CPT®
2014 brings changes you’ll need to implement in your practice.
2014 Procedural Coding ADVISOR
Good news: Unlike some other specialties, urology coders won’t
have a slew of changes to learn. There are seven code changes
that pertain to urology. You’ll have five new codes to learn and two
deleted code to cross off your code lists. There are no revised codes
that will affect your urology practices. Our experts have scoured the
code changes and honed in on the ones that you’ll need to know.
Appendix D: New Code Articles
Drop Deleted Codes
CPT® 2014 removes the following codes, effective Jan. 1, 2014:
•
•
Get to Know 52356
CPT® 2014 adds one code that experts say will have a significant
impact on urology practices 52356 — Cystourethroscopy, with ureteroscopy and/or
pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy including insertion of indwelling ureteral
stent [eg, Gibbons or double-J type].
•
Old way: Currently when you bill for ureteroscopic fragmentation
of a renal pelvic or ureteral stone followed by a double J
stent insertion, you report 52353 — Cystourethroscopy, with
ureteroscopy and/or pyeloscopy; with lithotripsy [ureteral
catheterization is included] and 52332 — Cystourethroscopy, with
insertion of indwelling ureteral stent [eg, Gibbons or double-J type].
These two codes are separately billable and payable.
•
•
19102 — Biopsy of breast; percutaneous, needle core,
using imaging guidance
19103 — Biopsy of breast; percutaneous, automated
vacuum assisted or rotating biopsy device, using
imaging guidance
19290 — Preoperative placement of needle localization
wire, breast
+19291 — Preoperative placement of needle localization
wire, breast; each additional lesion (List separately in
addition to code for primary procedure)
+19295 — Image guided placement, metallic localization
clip, percutaneous, during breast biopsy/aspiration (List
separately in addition to code for primary procedure).

Read on for expert guidance on how to report these services in
2014, once the preceding codes are no longer valid.
New way: As of January 1, for the same procedures, you’ll only be
able to bill 52356. This change was originally slated to take effect
in mid-2013, but will now be implemented in the new year.
These are very common procedures for urologists to perform
at the same operative session. Most times when a urologist
ureteroscopically fragments a stone, he places a stent to ensure
passage of fragments without causing obstruction.
Note: If your urologist performs the cystourethroscopy with
lithotripsy but does not place a stent, you’ll still report just 52353.
Since this is a common code combination, it appears they are
trying to combine the 52353 and 52332 procedures as they’ve
done with other procedures in the past.
This new code is another example of Medicare looking at two procedures
performed together very frequently and creating a compound code.
This is the only real change for urology this coming year with all for 2014.
You surgeon may use one of several types of imaging guidance
when placing a localization device. Your first step for choosing
the right code is to confirm the type of guidance used. Then you
should look at the new 2014 CPT® code set to assign a code for
the first and each additional lesion.
You’ll select from the following localization techniques:
•
•
•
•
Mammographic guidance: using radiation/X-ray image of
breast tissue to verify the placement of the localization
device near the targeted tissue
Stereotactic guidance: a special mammography machine
using x-rays to help guide the provider’s instruments to
the site of the abnormal growth
Ultrasound guidance: high frequency sound waves
(ultrasound) are sent and received by a machine,
creating image used to guide needle placement
Magnetic resonance guidance: use of powerful magnetic
fields and radiofrequency pulses to create detailed images.
The following table shows how the new CPT® 2014 codes capture the
guidance type and number of lesions for breast localization procedures.
D
Additionally: There is one other new code that you might use
in the new year 10030 — Image-guided fluid collection drainage
by catheter [eg, abscess, hematoma, seroma, lymphocele, cyst],
soft tissue [eg, extremity, abdominal wall, neck], percutaneous
— which would provide a code to use when your physician needs
to drain a fluid collection using catheterization.
Confirm Image Guidance for Localization Devices
Three Codes Replace 50021, 58823
CPT® 2014 also deletes 50021 — Drainage of perirenal or renal
abscess; percutaneous and 58823 — Drainage of pelvic abscess,
transvaginal or transrectal approach, percutaneous ([g, ovarian,
pericolic]). But CPT® adds the following three new codes, which
seem to replace the two deleted codes:
•
These codes may be used in urology and urogynecology.
Look for New Breast Localization and Biopsy
Codes Next Year
Focus on Guidance to Select the Proper Code
Five codes for percutaneous breast biopsy and placement of
localization devices won’t cut the mustard in 2014. Instead, CPT®
2014 deletes the existing five codes and replaces them with 14
new, more specific codes that you need to know.
Keep in mind: CPT® codes +19282, +19284, +19286 and +19288
are add-on codes, so you should report them only in addition to the
primary procedure code.
