I am billing for an ENT who has audiologists within the practice. The patient was seen by an audiologist on 10/3/09 for a testing svce & then the patient saw the ENT for a new patient visit on 2/12/10. The claim was denied because they patient is not a new patient however the provider refuses to believe this since he did not see the patient before 2/12/10 & the service that was provided in 2009 was not an E&M service. Who is correct? If I am is there something I can pull to show the provider in black & white why I am correct??
Thanks for the help!!!
