Welcome to your billing and coding weekly solutions by American Acupuncture Council Network (AAC).

Are you aware there are different CPT codes for new patients vs established patients?

A new patient is someone who has not received professional services from you or another provider of the same specialty in your practice within the past 3 years.

Acupuncture CPT codes used for evaluation and management coding for a new patient may include E&M codes 99202-99205.

Remember, billing with incorrect acupuncture CPT and ICD codes can lead to claim rejections and delays in payments, which can have a devastating impact on generating revenue and keeping you in business. 

If you are experiencing insurance claim denial, staff spending too much time trying to get claims paid, and patients asking why their claims have not been paid then American Acupuncture Council Network is your solution.

American Acupuncture Council Network stays ahead of the curve on the latest trends and changes in billing and coding by utilizing their direct channel of communication with the insurance companies and organizations that set the guidelines.

There is a reason acupuncturists have trusted AAC with their business for over 30 years.
