Documentation tells the tale
It depends on the physicians documentation. If the patient is only coming in for orthotics fitting then you cannot bill for the E&M. If the patient comes in for a visit and during the visit your physician decides the patient needs an orthotic and does the training for it lasting at least 15 minutes then you would bill the E&M with a 25 modifier.
Hope this helps,
Angie
