Hello,
I am needing a second a opinion on whether an E/M should be billed along with a procedure code. I code for the physician portion.
Provider performed a laceration to left hand but he also performed a x-ray to make sure there was not a fracture. Only Dx code is laceration to left hand.
Would the x-ray be considered additional workup? Or does an additional Dx code need to be added in order for the provider to bill a E/M and laceration code?
