In which section of the CPT code book are the E/M codes listed?

The E/M codes, or Evaluation and Management codes, are specifically listed in the Evaluation and Management section of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code book. This section is dedicated to codes that describe a physician's time and effort spent on patient care during various types of visits, such as consultations, hospital admissions, and office visits.

Each code in this section provides a way to categorize the different levels of service based on factors like the complexity of the visit, the nature of the presenting problem, and the time spent with the patient. This standardization helps in billing practices and ensures that healthcare providers are appropriately compensated for the services they deliver.

Other sections of the CPT code book, such as Radiology, Pathology and Laboratory, or Surgery, contain codes relevant to their specific fields, which do not include the E/M codes. Therefore, referencing the Evaluation and Management section is essential for accurate coding and reimbursement related to patient evaluations and management services.
