Hello, here is my scenario. A provider sees a new patient, the reason for the visit is to remove a wart and there is nothing else wrong with the patient in order to warrant a separate E/M to be billed with the procedure. The new patient E/M (99203 for example) has a higher RVU than the wart removal procedure. Can the provider elect to bill the E/M instead of the procedure just to get the higher RVU's...
