Questions for Dr. Stern
About Your Urgent Care Center
45. I work for a doctor who is trying to find out what the urgent care codes are. Could you tell me where to find this information in the CPT book and what code range?
There are no specific evaluation and management (E/M) codes for urgent care.
Currently, urgent care centers use the same codes used by other office-based physicians (99201-99205; 99211-99215). For a discussion of how to negotiate and use problem-based coding in your urgent care click here.
