In general, all three key components (history, physical examination, and medical decision making) for the E/M codes in CPT should be met or exceeded when
A.
the patient is established.
B.
a new patient is seen in the office.
C.
the patient is given subsequent care in the hospital.
D.
the patient is seen for a follow-up inpatient consultation.
It takes a longer time with new Patients because the Provider want's to capture all details of the patient's History and document them for future visits
For a new Patient being seen it takes a longer time for E/M by the Provider to make sure all information is accurately captured and noted for future follow ups if needed.
The E/M codes in CPT means "Evaluation and Management Codes" For every new patient, the E/M needs to be met.
