When billing Prolonged Services, are your providers documenting time by total time, start/stop times or both? CMS Claim Manual reference both so I'm unsure what is actually required. Thank you for your help!
Thanks for the reply. When you are billing a face to face encounter and the level visit is based on time, do you separate your time documentation? For example 40 minutes for 99215 with 50% counseling and then 30 minutes prolonged service with start/stop times?
