There are many updates and changes to COVID-19(SARS-CoV-2) since the pandemic started. Now a special update has been issued with the release of new six codes to the ICD-10-CM code set. These codes are effective for use from January 1, 2021.Let’s look up the code details as below: New codes: J12.82 Pneumonia due to coronavirus disease 2019 M35.81 Multisystem inflammatory syndrome M35.89 Other specified systemic involvement of connective tissue Z11.52 Encounter for screening for COVID-19 Z20.822 Contact with and (suspected) exposure to COVID-19 Z86.16 Personal history of COVID-19 New code for Pneumonia due to COVID-19: A new code J12.82 is used to report COVID caused pneumonia effective January 1, 2021. The main purpose of adding this new code is to improve the coding specificity compared to that of the existing coding guidance for COVID-related Pneumonia. The current guidelines instruct the coders to report two diagno
99201: The 2021 CPT ® code set will not include new patient level 1 code 99201. As you’ll see below, the revised code descriptors for the remaining office and outpatient E/M codes use MDM or time to dictate code selection. Code 99201 requires straightforward MDM, the same as 99202, and having two codes requiring the same level of MDM would be redundant. 99202-99205: In 2021, new patient codes 99202-99205 will no longer require the 3 key components or reference typical face-to-face time. Instead, each service includes “a medically appropriate history and/or examination,” and code selection will be based on the MDM level or total time spent on that date. Compare the 2020 descriptor for 99203 posted earlier in this article to the 2021 code descriptor below: 99203 Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of a new patient, which
Technological advances in the field of continuous cardiac monitoring and detection have prompted the addition of codes 93241, 93242, 93243, 93244, 93245, 93246, 93247, 93248, along with associated guideline revisions. These codes will replace Category III codes 0295T, 0296T, 0297T and 0298T, which were deleted. These new codes utilize an innovative algorithmic technology that works in concert with a patch that is much easier to wear for patients and provides more accurate and complete data for physician interpretation.

CPT code 92229 for retinal imaging with automated point-of-care, and revision of codes 92227 and 92228, better support the screening of patients for diabetic retinopathy and increase early detection and incorporation of findings into diabetes care. Innovative solutions like the augmented intelligence technology described by new code 92229 have the potential to improve access for at-risk patient populations by bringing retinal imaging capabilities into the primary care setting.
According to AMA These foundational modifications were designed to make E/M office visit coding and documentation simpler and more flexible, freeing physicians and care teams from clinically irrelevant administrative burdens that led to time-wasting note bloat and box checking. The changes to CPT codes ranging from 99201-99215 are proposed for adoption by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services on Jan. 1, 2021. The E/M office visit modifications include: Eliminating history and physical exam as elements for code selection. Allowing physicians to choose the best patient care by permitting code level selection based on medical decision-making (MDM) or total time. Promoting payer consistency with more detail added to CPT code descriptors and guidelines. “To get the full benefit of the burden relief from the E/M office visit changes, health care organizations need to understand and be ready to use the revised CPT codes and guidelines by Jan. 1, 2021,” said AMA Presiden
