Just recently our E & M codes are being denied when we are also perfomring a cortisone injection. For most of these cases, the patient has not been seen for 6 months to a year and are scheduled due to pain in joint. Our physicians normally do a comprehensive exam prior to offering the injection. Normal CPT codes:
99213-25
20610
J1030
The insurance companies that are denying these are private payors. Is anyone else also experiencing these denials? Any input would be appreciated.
