I'm a new coder with a hospice agency.
One of our physicians used manual means in the patient's home to perform a reduction of paraphimosis. According to the documentation, this was the reason for the visit.
Is this procedure included in an E&M code or should this service be coded under another procedure code?
When is it appropriate to code both an E&M code and procedure code?
Thank You,
Kelly
