    Wiki Addiction Recovery Billing

    Hello! I work at an addiction recovery office who give Vivitrol injections to our patients. My bosses feel that we should be billing 99204 and 99214 more.

    Wiki Molina is automatically downcoding office visits without requesting medical records.

    I do billing for an internal medicine physician who specializes in weight management. Most of his visits are coded as 99214 or 99215 + 99401 or 99402.

    Wiki Coding Based on Time

    I have a provider questioning the coding of time. For example a 99213 is 15 minutes and 99214 is 25 minutes. (I realize it has to be greater than these "typical" times with greater than 50% in counseling and coordination). The provider is saying if it is 21 minutes you would round up to the...
