Evaluation and management (E/M) coding and billing are crucial to maintaining the efficiency and productivity of a medical practice today. E&M coding involves use of CPT codes ranging from 99202 to 99499. These represent services by a physician (or other health care professional) in which the provider is either evaluating or managing a patient’s health.

The AMA works to simplify E&M codes and reduce physician burdens. Learn more about those efforts here.
