Does anyone have any resources other than aap website that would give a good description of what should be done during a well child exam?
1) Doctor trying to bill for E/M on well exams. Generally he is only noting that there is another condition but nothing is significant to allow separate E/M for it.
2) Doctors are trying to bill 96110 on every well child exam. He says this is done but there is no questionaire filled out, no testing documenation or report is done. He's billing it on newborns/infants too.
I need to be able to show what is included in well exam and why separate visit isn't warranted in most cases. Most importantly why 96110 isn't appropriate for newborns/infants.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks
