Physician saw the patient in the hospital (new patient). He examined the patient and decided to do an I & D. I coded the E&M as 99221-25 and the procedure as 10061. I'm being told this is incorrect. Dr. did not know when he saw the patient that he would perform the I&D. Is this correct or can I only charge the I&D or just the E&M without modifier? Thanks
