Hi!
Does anyone have any tips or tools on educating a provider when to use a LOS (Ex 99213) vs Preventative (99395)? I have given guidelines, examples, all the tips I can think of and this is still an issue. Example, DXs listed are all problem oriented but the CPT is preventative 99395, when I request to change to a LOS, I am asked "why?" when I explain this is a sick visit and not a preventative visit, they still don't understand. Any tips would be appreciated!
Thank you!
