I use this code to bill for PPD skin tests and the follow up read, 72 hours later. Does this code include the reading of the test, or no? I was always told that it included the reading because that is part of the testing process. So, I have never billed an E/M for the reading, for that reason. I'm wondering if it is a correct coding practice to bill an E/M for the reading of the test.
