Need help please!!

Can a pain management provider who is already billing for the office visit bill 99358 to review the national pharmacy data base?

Thank you!
 
Are you stating it took the provider at least 31 minutes to review the info? That seems (at best) highly unusual and unlikely. It takes my providers about 90 seconds. I will assume as pain management, your patients may be on multiple medications, sometimes by multiple providers. So 5 minutes. Maybe even 10. I don't see how someone could state it took 31 minutes.
Don't forget that time spent reviewing their own records can't be counted.
