When our Dr. round on patient does there need to be a exam everytime. The may be checking to see how the patient is feeling and my go over test results or my order test. I work for general surgery dr. They consult the patient and if they do not need surgery at that time the may order test and check on the patient they next few day. When i look at the 99231 it says must meet 2 of 3 components. We have recently hired a outside auditor to come in and evaluate our coding and billing. She has stated that 99231 must include a exam every visit. Any thought would be greatly appreciated.
