Hi all,
I've been hired as a coder after the clinic I work at updated to a new EMR system, and I've come across issues with coding for nurse visits.
We've established that when patients come in for injections/vaccinations, we code for the injections/vaccinations and the correct admin codes.
But this is how they've been coding for other nurse visits and I'm not sure if I should remove the 99211:
Blood draws (orders on file): 99211 + 36415
Urine Pregnancy Test: 99211 + 81025
TB skin test: 99211 + 86580
Assistance greatly appreciated!
