I am having a hard time trying to get Medicare contractors to pay for prolonged service procedure code(s) 99358 & 99359 - which do not require any direct patient face-to-face contact.
Does anyone know of any other timed procedure code or modifier to use for non-face-to-face or when the physician performs work related to the patient before & after the face-to-face time.(Which would include tasks such as retrieving records and test results, arranging for further services, communicating with other healthcare providers.)
I am coding it to the highest E&M level there is... But, the insurance will not pay.... Can someone please advise me??? HELP!!!!!
