The trend toward breaking down health care silos to free physicians to practice in new and different ways is illustrated by the different classifications mental and behavioral health services fall under in the 2023 Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code set.

The CPT codes used to characterize mental and behavioral health services this year include brand new codes plus revisions that fall into categories such as digital health and evaluation and management (E/M).

Modifications to the mental and behavioral health E/M codes include revisions to guidelines and parenthetical notes to align with similar changes to 2023 E/M guidelines in other categories.

Codes 99354–99357 were deleted.
