I need some help on this one as soon as possible....
I know there is the new codes for non-face-to-face E/M, 99441-99443, and it states that it is initiated by the patient, however, is there a code or a way to bill if the physician is off work due to medical reasons and they want to go over test results, follow up, etc. Has anyone ever experienced this before. I thought about using the NOC along with notes, but was not sure if there was another way of doing it.
If that does not work, can I bill the 99211 with the nurse seeing the pt., as long as there is another Dr in the office.
I am new at this coding stuff, but am always looking for ways to make a buck!!
thanks for anyone that can help me out!!
