Can any one help me with this code? I have a PAC that charges it with every 99215 and 99205 she sees. I don't see the medical necessity but I'm getting tired of arguing about it. She typically documents a 99215 and a 99417, 45 minutes face to face, 10 minutes documenting and 5 minutes faxing or 60 minutes face to face, 15 minutes documenting and reviewing meds. My thoughts are that Documenting and reviewing meds should be part of the E/M and we have staff that can fax. I feel like she uses this code to fill in time gaps to meet the 99215/99205. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
