I have an ENT doctor that sees patients all of the time for nosebleeds. He did one the other day with a 30901 RT and a 30903 LT. He also added a 99212 with a 25 mod. I have asked him why he did this because his note clearly states that he did the cauterizations and did not have a separately identifiable service or procedure. He told me that he does this on all new patients because he needs to assess the situation before he performs the cauterization. He told me that if it was an established patient or a medicare patient than he would not have charged the E&M. What is the correct process with this scenerio?
