huh?

can't quite tell what you are asking.

If the facility requires an H&P by a primary doctor prior to a procedure and the patient has no medical problems, I bill the reason for the procedure and V72.84 with a consultation CPT code for commercial insurance. Medicare will not cover these exams but if forced to do it I bill 99213 and the same ICD codes.

The facility rules and JC determine the time frames. 30 days is usual and the doctor performing the procedure must sign that H&P just prior to the procedure stating there is no change in condition.

Pre-surgical H&P

Pre-surgical H&P's are included in the surgical procedure and cannot be billed separately.
