True Blue
Pt saw the provider who ordered a stool sample. Pt returned the stool sample the next day and we send it to the lab. We can report 99000 for the specimen handling, but since this code can't be reported by itself, would 99211 also be approporiate here? This is an established patient and there is some nurse interaction, or is this inclusive of the provider visit where the test was ordered?
