On September 2020, AMA released the 2021 CPT code set which had the first major overhaul that took place in the last 25 years. That overhaul seriously impacted the outpatient evaluation and management services which was a critical driver for the urgent care clinics.
Among the changes the key were the physical exam and eliminating history as main elements for any code selection. It allowed code level selection which was based on total time and medical decision making and provides more details to CPT guidelines and descriptors.
While the AMA explained that the new documentation and E/M guidelines will make urgent care coding a lot simpler, for the physicians who are tired of clinical documentation demands. The urgent care centers that were hit by the pandemic also got hit by the coding guidelines round about the same time.
At a time of serious labor constraints and shortage, finding a trusted urgent care coding partner is hard to come by. Also, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find resources with the existing scenario of rising minimum wages and higher salaries.
