Hi. Can someone please give me an example of when an office visit and procedure can be coded for same visit with one problem? As an example, patient comes in with hoarseness and a fiberoptic laryngoscopy is decided upon and performed.
Would it be acceptable to bill both 99203 and 31575 for scope?
Assuming there are no other symptoms or diagnoses being addressed and patient is new to our specialty. Time spent not documented.

thank you
