The CPT Editorial Panel for CY 2020 created CPT codes 98970, 98971, and 98972. During MPFS rulemaking for CY 2021, CMS decided to use these codes in place of G2061, G2062, and G2063, since their descriptors were similar. The CPT codes and their long descriptors are:

• CPT 98970 - Qualified nonphysician health care professional online digital evaluation and management service, for an established patient, for up to 7 days, cumulative time during the 7 days; 5-10 minutes. CPT code 98970 replaced HCPCS code G2061.

• CPT 98971 - Qualified nonphysician health care professional online digital evaluation and management service, for an established patient, for up to 7 days, cumulative time during the 7 days; 11-20 minutes. CPT code 98971 replaced HCPCS code G2062.

• CPT 98972 - Qualified nonphysician health care professional online digital evaluation and management service, for an established patient, for up to 7 days, cumulative time during the 7 days; 21 or more minutes. CPT code 98970 replaced HCPCS code G2063.
