Our surgeon did a consult note on a patient he was asked to render an opinion on. The patient was not seen, however every point of documentation required for a consult was completed except for the actual physical exam where the surgeon noted "physical exam was not performed since the consultation was requested based on evaluating her clinical history and angiography".
Is there a CPT code I can use to describe this service? or Do I just not bill for this service since the physical exam was not done? I am not sure how to approach this.
Thanks for your help!
