What is a crosswalk?
If it is "x code now replaced by Y code" then there is no crosswalk. BUT... there are 5 consult codes and 5 new patient codes so you probably could cross those for outpatient but inpatient is 3 codes so the crosswalk leads to a dead end.

Put the word "update" in the search box, go to the article on consults, download the document about RVUs and you'll find what you need.
