So - here I sit with with CPC, CPMA and CEMC certifications...darned if I can find documentation from CMS or any other sourse to support my stance that a nurse cannot code any higher than 99211 for any reason. Please help! I need to locate the written documentation to support my stance!! I have an RN telling me that she "has never heard that you can't bill higher than 99211 for a nursing visit". This is specifically for a wound care clinic where the nurse may do multiple dressing changes, discharge planning (from the wound care clinic, and/or extensive wound care education.
I KNOW that I am right, but of course am being forced to provide documentation to support this...since I am "just a coder" (with extensive experience and multiple credentials)!!!
