A billing consultant recently told my surgeon that if he reviews a cath or a CT scan on a patient that he is seeing in the office, and then dictates a note reporting his findings, he can bill for that as well as the visit. Regardless of whether someone else has done the study and dictated a report.
Does this sound correct to anyone else? Is anyone doing this? I thought review of the CT or cath could "count" towards the tests reviewed under the MDM section of the visit but I didn't think we could charge separately for basically re-writing a report.
Thanks for your help!
