Hey all you amazing coding experts!
Quick question,
What are the specific guidelines for documenting an visit for phototherapy only; no evaluation and management? Currently, one of my providers reevaluates a patient approx. every 20 visits and creates an E/M note. But, the actual light treatments are kept on a log in each patients chart with the date, dosage and time that the patient spent in therapy. I use this to create a charge encounter.
Tell me, are our methods of documentation and billing appropriate or should we make some changes?
Please, indulge me with you expertise!
Thanks and Take care
