Wiki CMS E&M Utilization by Specialty

[jojo1uf]

I used to be able to obtain the E&M Utilization by Specialty on the CMS.gov website. See attached sample for CY 2017.

Has anyone found the CY2021 data? If so, can you share a link to the page? Thank you!

If you look on this CMS link (Medicare Utilization for Part B) and scroll down to the Related Links section, you'll see the EM Codes By Specialty for all years through 2021:

The AAPC website also has an interesting E/M Utilization Benchmarking Tool where you can input your provider's level distribution and it will generate a bar graph comparing it to the national average:
