New problem, additional work up planned
We know that x-rays or labs are considered " additional work up" does a referral to a consultation requested by the primary care physician constitute additional work up ? CMS and our local Medicare carrier do not clarify or define " additional workup". Any information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. Please state your references if applicable.
