I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how to bill this.
I have a physician who continually is not documenting his exam on his new patients. We have talked to him about it and he says he will do it but still nothing.
anyway how would you code it with out an exam? New patients visits require that you have all 3 components. Would you lower it to an established patient visit since you only need 2 of the 3 components? or would you leave it as a new patient visit and just give him the lowest level 99201?
Any suggestions/advise would be great!!
Thanks
