Can I bill for both an E/M and an MRI if they are done on the same day?
My specific example is a BCBS patient who came in with a knee injury and was able to get MRI same day. Since the patient was new to our practice, full history was taken by the physician prior to the MRI being done.
The physician diagnosed an ACL and MCL tear, but ordered MRI to look for any additional structural damage. The results of the MRI showed an ACL and MCL tear.
Thanks for any input on this. If I could be pointed towards specific policies I would appreciate it.
