The CPT code for an office visit typically depends on the complexity of the visit and the level of medical decision-making involved. For a nurse practitioner (NP) visit that includes a problem-focused history (PF HX), problem-focused examination (PF EX), and straightforward medical decision-making (SF), the appropriate code would likely be 99201-99205, depending on the specific details of the visit. As of 2021, the most commonly used codes for office visits are 99201 (deleted) through 99205 for new patients and 99211 through 99215 for established patients, with 99201 no longer in use. Always consult the most current CPT coding guidelines for accuracy.
