hello fellow coders-
I have a question, which I am not able to find the answer to (at least not as quickly as I'd like).
for audio only telephone visits (99441-99443): "Telephone or audio-only evaluation and management services for new and established patients, cannot originate from a related E/M service provided within the previous 7 days nor leading to an E/M service or procedure within the next 24 hours or soonest available appointment.".
does this still apply if the patient was seen by a different provider/specialty 6 days before the televisit, but discussing the same issues?
**EDITED to add - the pt saw a cardiologist, and then had a phone call with his PCP 6 days later, the PCP followed the cardiologists recommendations and offered another referral**
thanks in advance!
