I need opinions ladies!
How would you code this?
We are a large family practice but now have several specialists (OBGYN, urology, general surgery, etc..) Our NP and PA's and regular MDS often will refer pts to our specialists.. I know Medicare does not pay for consult codes anymore... So when ever our pt sees one of our specialists b/c they have beeen referred my our np would we will a consult code, a new pt E/M since it is the 1st time specialists has seen this pt face to face (but not technically new to clinic), or bill as an established e/m? any input would be great!![Stick out tongue :p :p](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
