Hello all,
I am looking for some input/advise on a new patient question.
We had a new patient come into the office for a new problem(we have never seen this patient before). During the visit the provider DID NOT perform an exam.
In this case would it be acceptable to bill an established patient based on the HPI and MDM or are you required to bill a new patient 99201?
I am looking for any supporting documentation on how to bill instance such as this one.
Thanks in advance.
