My brain is not working so well or maybe I am just doubting myself. Can anyone tell me why this does not look correct to me?
This is a subsequent visit, inpatient hospital.
He documented
Floor Time (minutes): 70
FacetoFace time (minutes): 45 minutes
Total Time (minutes): 70 minutes
plus the rest of note, which had a comprehensive exam and MDM of HIGH
Provider documented this to be 99233+99356
The coder previous to me documented 99232+99356
However, I would think it would be 99233+99365
I think this because his E/M level is high and he documented 45 minutes face to face. Is my interpretation correct?
