ED coders can expect to make adjustments to chest procedure and observation care coding, as well as other services in 2013. The 2013 CPT® book was released earlier than usual this year, and includes 251 revised and 151 new Category I codes. There are also 100 codes that have been deleted. Nearly every E/M code has some revision and there is new language for 2013 in each of the E/M codes, which eliminates the word "provider" and replaces it with "qualified healthcare providers."
