Can anyone tell me if it's acceptable to bill 99483 (assessment of and care planning for a patient with cognitive impairment) with 99358 (Prolonged e&m service, non direct)? I have a provider who is insisting this is ok, when they are using the prolonged service portion to complete the paperwork, etc. for the 99483. Any thoughts?:confused::cool:
 
Wouldn't completing the paperwork be included in the code 99483? This provider is constantly trying to push the limits. They want to use prolonged services anytime there is paperwork to be filled out.

Can 99483 be billed in a Nursing Home. Everything I have researched says no.

Thanks
