I am covering for vacations here and need a little help,

Can I bill a 31505 with an E&M?

Thanks Much!

Reason for visit?

If the reason for the visit was to have the scope, NO.

If the reason for the visit was for whatever problem and the physician decided a diagnostic laryngoscopy was necessary to diagnosis the problem, then yes. Some payers will want a -25 modifier on the E/M.
