Hello,
Any help would be appreciated. This is a debate within my practice and I am cannot find anything that explicitly states it can or cannot be done!
When you do a traditional preventive visit (99395, 99396, etc) and do an e/m visit with it--do you ever bill a 99214?
My thoughts-- is it should not be done because the documentation overlap between the history and exam areas. Since you can only use the documentation towards one service and not for both, this would make it inappropriate to bill these two services together.
