medicare coding
I have a new patient, hasn't had routine GYN exam in over 3 yrs. Now having p.m. bleeding issues, and during extensive visit, endo bx was done... How should this be coded?? G0101-GA, Q0091-GA, 58100-59 ?? or add 25 mod on G0101 also? This patient was with the Dr. a very long time face to face. Thanks for any input...
re: medicare coding
If during the examan an abnormality was found or a pre-existing problem is addressed at the time of a preventive visit, this additional service is reported using a problem oriented E/M code. The additional services must be significant and separately identifable and the E/M level of service reported must be consisitent thie the key components perfomed in the evaluation of the problem. per your note is states the provider spen a long time face to face with the patient. If he/she documents the total time spent counseling/coordintion of care and a description of the content of the counseling and or cooordination of care activiities he may bill for an additional E&M service. Your codes should look as such.
