Reimbursement for Transition 

Got Transition and the American Academy of Pediatrics released a new 2020 Transition Coding and Reimbursement Tip Sheet to support the delivery of recommended transition services in pediatric and adult primary and specialty care settings. The new tip sheet includes a list of updated transition-related CPT codes, including the new code for transition readiness assessment, and current Medicare fees and RVUs for these services. It also includes a new set of eight clinical vignettes with recommended CPT and ICD-10 codes.
