Don't Code for Script Writing

Question: Can I use 99499 to report writing a prescription? 

Rhode Island Subscriber

Answer: No, you cannot. A physician must perform an E/M service in order for you to report 99499 (Unlisted evaluation and management service). You cannot bill for just writing a prescription. Consider that service part of the cost of seeing patients.
