prolonged care

If I see a pt and it is 99213 type visit and that evening I read up on the pts condition does that change the 99213 to a 99215 or allow for adding 99358?

re: prolonged care

No, no additional bump up to code 99215 (E/M codes are face-face with physician). Prolonged service is an add-on code and Medicare and many other payers will not pay 99358 or 99359
