Good morning -
Patient (non-Medicare) recv'd letter stating she was due for pap. Patient has not had one in three years. Comes in for just that.
Physician billing 99213 with V72.31 stating this was a Well Woman Exam.
The note is in no way "comprehensive" in terms that History only adresses Past History and 1 ROS. Exam only addresses Constitutional and Pelvic exam.
I am not sure that a 99386 with V72.31 would be appropriate. But neither is billing 99213 with the V code.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
