Medicare patient saw Medical Assistant but left because he didn't want to wait for the doctor.
The scriber documented as below..
F/u on rash on abdomen and back
Symptom: still itchy
Duration: for awhile
Severity: intermittent
Timing: constan
Dermatitis, unspecified
Patient was check-in and waiting in the consultation room and told medical assistant that he is still itching on the body after last visit, and all he need are refill his topical cream and antihistamine pills. but patient decide to leave without seeing doctor While waiting to long in the consultation room. we had call his wife to refill his medication since patient already paid copay today., Prescription e prescribed to patient's pharmacy on file.
Would I code this as 99211 with Z76.0 for medication refill?
Thanks.
