Medical billing services for family practices ensure that providers do not miss out on opportunities to maximize compensation. A smooth medical billing procedure is ensured by correct CPT coding. The CPT coding system specifies medical, surgical, and diagnostic services provided by healthcare professionals or physicians. The American Medical Association (AMA) created and maintains the coding system, which provides healthcare professionals with “a uniform process for categorizing medical services that streamlines reporting and promotes accuracy and efficiency.” The most commonly utilized CPT codes for medical billing by family physicians are 99213 and 99214. According to the CPT system and the CMS Evaluation & Management (E&M) guideline, 99213 can be used if a clinician treats a patient for one stable chronic illness, such as cirrhosis of the liver.
