My doctor saw a new patient face to face for 80 minutes. She is basing the E&M code off of time. I know for a new patient 99205 is 60 minutes. Would it be 30 minutes over 60 minutes? Can anyone explain if a prolong code is needed for this visit. I am having a hard understanding when it is appropriate to use the prolong code.
Thanks for your help
