I have an orthopedic provider who keeps billing and E/M with CPT 20610, most of the time they are prescheduled injections and wants to justify the E/M by stating patient continues or still has pain in chief complaint. There isn't no new problem or any other significant exacerbation.
If patient continues to have pain, is that enough to consider a separate E/M every time the patient comes to get injection?
Would like hear if others run into this situation and I want to make sure this is enough to warrant an E/M. Thank you
