Wiki Preventive and E&M visits same day

[smihm]

Can someone explain when it would be appropriate for an OBGYN to bill a Preventive and E&M visit same day? I have a few physicians who think if they renew oral contraceptives or any other medication they can bill a separate E&M - I try to stick with new problem with some sort of treatment like an RX - to me refiling existing medications is part of the Preventive visit
Thanks
