what staff are coidng for 99211?-
if a staff member sees a patient does a SOAP documented before the INR is taken- do you generally code 99211. We have a discussion going on this - what actually constitutes a documented 99211 and who can code for it and then bill under physician name...
there is no level of documentation given as requirements for 99211 (HX, ROS, EXAM , MDM, etc) - so this has come up many times with providers I have worked with in past- and just need some feed back form experienced coders how they address this to their providers when you feel it is being over-used
