The patient is in clinic for the 1st visit: E/M-25 and 95044 x allergens placed
2nd visit: intial reading and to make sure there are no complications. Can we bill for this visit?
3rd visit: final reading and discussion of results including counseling for positives---an E/M is billed.
Is it appropriate to bill for the second visit and collect a copay if the physician is seeing the patient for a brief visit to check the patch testing site and ensure there are no complications? Can you bill if the documentation supports a 99212 or should the second visit be viewed like a wound check visit with no charge?
