I have a urology doc who called and spoke with the wife of a new patient to inform her that he would not be able to perform a schedule shockwave procedure on her husband's stone due to him breaking his arm in a skiing accident. They ended up speaking for 45 minutes discussing transition duties. He is trying to charge a consult (which he can't since the pt has Medicare) and also a 99443 for the phone call. That CPT code is only for an established pt though. Is there anything at all the doc can bill for his time?
Thank you for your help!
