CPT 99227: Established Patient Office Visit – Moderate MDM, 10‑Minute Focus

CPT 99227 (legacy code; replaced in 2023 by MDM/time‑based E/M) historically described:

Office/outpatient visit, established patient, problem‑focused interval history, moderate complexity decision‑making, ~10 minutes face‑to‑face.

Current Practice (2023+): Use 99214 (moderate MDM or 30–39 min total time) for similar encounters. 99227 is no longer valid for Medicare/major payers.

Always code per current CPT edition and payer rules.
