Coordination of care code
Is there a CPT or HCPCS code our physician could use for his time when he does a peer to peer review in order to get an MRI authorized? The call only lasts 10 to 15 minutes, so 99367 won't work. Thanks

Nope,
unless you have the patient in the office. I do my own auths while i am sitting with the patient (most are online these days) and if it takes a long time, I use time based coding with a note "took 25 min to get thru ins for MRI auth". It also shows the patient what a PITA it is to get them their needed tests.
