If a providers wants to use time for leveling his office visit because he was counseling patient majority of his visit. Does that counseling still have to meet the threshold of counseling and/or coordination of care of more than 50%? guideline still apply?
reason I ask its because its states " other E/M services that you code based on time, you will still need to meet the threshold of counseling and/or coordination of care taking up more than 50% of the visit. " but it doesn't mention it for the office or other outpatient services.
Can anyone help please
