Wiki Medication follow up with Well Child

[buerklej]

I understand the icd 10 codes with abnormal findings and without, however, if a patient comes in for a well visit and the child is due for an ADHD medication follow up appointment can we bill the well visit code with 25 modifer and an additional E&M service if the documentation supports it.

Only if the provider is doing an extended amount of time with it. If the provider is just refilling a Rx I would say no.

Separate appointment should really be scheduled unless its just a quick check and refill which is included in the age appropriate physical exam code.
