I bill for the MD in a nursing home, and we are a bit worried about billing to Medicare, mostly because he received a "warning letter" in February regarding the frequency he billed the code 99310, which we have greatly reduced since then.
I am now a bit worried about how often he sees/bills E/M visits for the patients. I know it relies on the severity of what they are being treated for, but some still seem a bit excessive.
For example, patient admitted mid October, with permanent atrial fibrillation, we have 22 service dates for her. Nov 1st through November 16th there are visits everyday.
I have looked at the LCDs and other coding information CMS has. I just want more clarity, and some opinion about these visits.
Thanks in Advance.
