I have a physician who had a level 2 consult but he correctly documented that he spent 90 minutes with the patient. I was always taught that the time documentation trumps the documentation therefore it would be billed as a 99205.. Another coder in the office disagrees. They say it should be billed a a 99202 along with a prolonged service code. Can anyone give me some help?
