Good evening all.
Billing department for outpatient hospital E/M visits have been receiving denials due to providers only billing I10 hypertension or E11.9 diabetes, etc.
However, when reviewing medical reports, either providers would document follow up based on these patients' conditions in addition to medications and lab results for the patient conditions.
Can an experienced coder/auditor provide me with the appropriate z-codes and sequence order to use for these cases in order to be reimbursed?
Thank you for your assistance!
