Currently, we use 99455 for a disability rating for a work comp patient after they have reached MMI. We have a patient who came back in stating the original injury was still bothering her. She was seen for 3 e/m visits, and released. The adjuster wants an addendum to the original report, which would normally be a newly re-done report. The adjuster stated there should be a CPT addendum code. Is there, and if a patient comes back for continued care, and a rating is re-done (new measurements were taken), how should we code that?
The adjuster doesn't want to pay the fee again since it was for the same injury (I don't blame her) but ow do we bill for the addendum.
