If our doctor performs an Electroretinography (ERG), with interpretation and report with the procedure on one day and then the reading and report on a following day how should I report this?

Should it be: 92273 TC dos 12-10-18 for the technical component
92273 26 dos 12-13-18 for the professional component with written report signed & dated 12-13-18

or is it appropriate to bill: 99273 dos 12-10-18 for the total component with written report indicating this was the reading for the procedure done 12-10-18 being signed & dated 12-13-18


Do I need to send separate claims because the technical component and the professional component were provided on different dates?

Thank you!:rolleyes:
 
Since the same provider is "doing" the test and writing the I&R, I would just report it as a single code for the date the test was done as the DOS. No need to break it down to TC and 26.

In this same scenario, how would I report the E&M for the first encounter with the Doctor? Example:
12-01-18 visual field test only by office tech billed under dr. & group NPI.
12-04-18 (new pt) E&M with the Doctor & results given from test on 12-01-18 billed under dr. & group NPI. Can I bill a new patient visit? I am questioning this because our claim for the visual field test provided on 12/01/18 was billed under the same dr & group NPI?
What is the proper way to bill this situation to allow for a new patient e/m to be billed?

Thank you very much for your help?

I'm a little confused. You have the patient in on 12/1 to do a field but the patient is a new patient and doesn't see the doctor until 12/4. How can the field test be ordered before the doctor sees the patient?
