Epic's Answer to Help You Follow the Changes in CPT Guidelines

Published on Friday, December 4, 2020

Epic's LOS section and Calculator are getting redesigned to help satisfy the changes in CPT Guidelines. We will see these changes in our Epic system on January 1, 2021. 

Please review the Calculate LOS Based on Time Tip Sheet to help you save time when wrapping up visits by entering the time you spent on a visit and calculating a level of service code directly in the Level of Service section. You can also update the telehealth mode to record last-minute changes in how you met with the patient. 

Note: Speed buttons containing the CPT codes no longer valid will also be removed with this change on January 1, 2021. Please create additional speed button favorites with updated charging codes to save time when wrapping up your visits.
