Hello - My apologies if this questions has been posted, but I was unable to locate a thread that could answer my specific question regarding billing.
While an E&M visit is not billable during a screening colonoscopy visit unless documentation supports additional problems being addressed; but can an E&M be billed if patient is being referred to cardiology for cardiac clearance and gastro provider is only documenting CARDIAC CLEARANCE NEEDED (no med management documented)?
If so, where can I be directed to support billing the E&M in this case?
Thank you in advanced -
Tamra
