When a provider orders lab work for screening ex: screening for cardiovascular disease, diabetes etc and uses the screening codes can you attach those screening codes to the e/m even if the labs weren’t performed on the same day as the office visit. I recently had an audit and was “dinged” but I attached them when they weren’t done the same day however I’ve never been dinged for it before and I’m not having any luck finding supporting documentation for this. Not sure if this is a new rule or not. It’s not something that is a workflow/guideline for the company I work for.
