A patient came in to see the general surgeon on 12/06/11 and had a unilateral duplex scan of the extremities done (CPT code 93971)....no office visit was billed. The patient came back into his office on 01/03/12. Would she be considered an new patient or established patient? I'm leaning towards her being a new patient since she wasn't actually seen in office, the only thing done on 12/06/11 was the scan.
Any thoughts???
Thanks in advance for your help.
