Our pharmacists provide evaluation of patient's for managing their Coumadin and there have been some recent questions as to what the appropriate code CPT code is for them to be charging. Right now they have been charging the 99211 and not the 93793 because our pharmacist feels as if they are providing more a service to the patient then what the 93793 entails. The visits are face-to-face and they are reviewing the current medications the patient is on and discussing any complaints or questions they might have. They might adjust the medication depending on what their INR was. Is it appropriate for them to bill the 99211 or should they be billing the 93793 unless they are having to adjust the medication, in which case that would allow for the 99211 to be appropriate? Anyone have any input?
