OV for depo

I need help with this visit. This patient came in for Depo shot, the nurse did a pregnancy test and gave the depo shot but the Dr. did see her to ask if any problems with her FP method. He coded the visit with a 99213. Is this correct or should I be coding it with a Modifier? If so, which modifier for which code? Please help. Most of the depo shot visits we see are this type of visit. thanks.

re: OV for depo

First, most should not be that type of visit. Yearly visits are appropriate. There is no need for a modifier for the visit. But be sure the visit note meets for level 3. IF the doc just asks if there are any problems it's not a real visit.
