Scenario:
99214 that meets key component criteria, but provider spent 60 min total with the patient (typical time for 99214 published by CPT is 25 minutes), no counseling documented.
Can I add on 99354 for the extra 35 minutes spent?
Any input/opinion is greatly appreciated![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
