1 E/M Fast Finder The E/M Fast Finder is a carry-along reference to assist in assigning the Evaluation and Management (E/M) codes that are part of the series of Current Procedural Terminology (CPT ) codes. The convenient size and reference tables in the E/M Fast Finder make this an ideal coding tool whether the provider or coder is in the comfort of an office with coding resources at hand or is in a busy emergency department, ICU, or hospital unit far from a coding resource. The E/M Fast Finder can be invaluable in all of these situations. E/M codes have been part of CPT since 1992, the year the codes were introduced to clarify documentation of E/M services. CPT codes are under the auspices of the American Medical Association (AMA). The publication is updated annually to incorporate changes in medical technology and practice. For 2012, the AMA has refined the definition of new and established patient. Additional instruction was added to state that the provider must be of the exact same specialty and subspecialty. Although primary care and internal medicine are both considered to be primary care, they are not considered to be the exact same specialty. Questions may still remain regarding subspecialty. Medicare does not recognize many subspecialties and payers who use their designations may rely on the specialty designation only. Initial observation codes ( ) now include a time designation. The typical times associated are 30 minutes for 99218, 50 minutes for 99219, and 70 minutes for Descriptors of subsequent observation care codes already include time designations. Prolonged services guidelines were revised to indicate that the services are provided by a physician or other qualified health care professional. Note that the extension applies to recognized nonphysician providers such as a nurse practitioner, physician assistant, and certified nurse specialist; however, this revision does not extend to nursing or office staff. Further definition is given regarding prolonged services without direct patient contact. The guidelines now state that it CPT only 2012 American Medical Association. 1
