99497 - states that this is for the first 30 minutes. Can anyone please clarify if this means "up to" 30 min? Or does the documented time need to be 30 min in order to bill the charge? We have a Health Care worker that completes this service in conjunction with the physician when the Medicare Wellness Exam is preformed. (modifier 33) The visit time ranges from 15-25 min from what I have seen thus far. I just want to make sure we are doing this correctly.
Thank you.
Thank you.
