Episode Synopsis

COVID-19 drew everyone’s focus in 2020, and the surges around the holidays have moved the battlefront and center. In the fray, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services announced big changes to evaluation and management codes that few are prepared for. Budget neutrality dictates there will be “winners” and “losers” throughout 2021.

Aimee and Taylor provide an overview of how the final rule will affect certain specialties, and what hospitals and private medical practices need to do.
