Wiki 99211's for medicare

[ckuebelbeck]

Can a 99211 be billed by a physician along with a protime if there is not a face to face? If anyone knows please let me know. I have been searching the CMS website and cannot find anything in regards to if this can be done. Any web links would be most helpful!!!!!!

no 99211 is a face to face encounter. If the patient saw the nurse and had the PT drawn you bill the blood draw and not the 99211.

What if the doctor does med changes while the patient is still in the office?
