I have a front office person here questioning if there should be an office visit code added to an 11100. The guideline states: The use of a biopsy procedure code 11100, 11101 indicates that the procedure to obtain tissue for pathologic examination was performed independently, or was unrelated or distinct from other procedur/services provided at the time. Such biopsies are not considered components of other procedures when performed on different lesions or different sites on the same date, and are to be reported separately.
Does this mean you do not have to report the E/M office code?
Thanks
