2021 CPT and HCPCS Update now available

We recently created a new document, the 2021 CPT and HCPCS Update, to let you know about new and deleted CPT and HCPCS codes. It’s been posted on web-DENIS on the Clinical Criteria & Resources page.

As you may have read in the January Record, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services had delayed the release of its 2021 HCPCS codes so we were only able to share a CPT Update document at that time.

This new document also includes updated information about the coverage decisions for certain CPT codes, so you’ll want to use it as your reference for new CPT and HCPCS codes for 2021. As future updates occur throughout the year, we’ll let you know via Record articles.

To access the 2021 CPT and HCPCS Update from web-DENIS, follow these steps:

1. Click on BCBSM Provider Publications and Resources.
2. Click on Newsletters and Resources.
3. Click on Clinical Criteria & Resources (or look under What’s New).
4. Scroll down to HCPCS and CPT Updates.
