Hi everyone!
I want to make sure I understand the guidelines for LOPS. we have a Podiatrist who likes to bill for G0246 but patient hasn't had an initial G0245 done.
1. PCP sees patients and established patient has diabetic neuropathy w/LOPS (G0245)
2. Refers patient to see Podiatry - Podiatry bills G0246
Is this correct?
Podiatrist cannot bill G0246 unless patient has seen PCP and billed G0245?
