If a pt enters an urgent care for Liver pain and possible STD,
pt was dx with:
ICD: UTI (lower urinary tract infection) (599.0)
ICD: Ketonuria (791.6)
ICD: Fatty liver (571.8)
ICD: Abdominal pain (789.00)
ICD: Feared complaint without diagnosis (V65.5)
and the pt has high glucose with ketones. SO the provider advise her to go to the ER for review of abdominal pain and for STD results.
in order to bill 99205, for a new patient both HPI and Exam still have to be comprehensive, right?
PLEASE HELP>>> Provider insists on billing 99205, but documentation only supports E/M 99202
