I have a question about whether or not I can bill for an E&M with modifier -25 in the following scenario (I'll be brief):
A patient comes in to see the urologist for a bladder scan that was planned and scheduled a month prior. The doctor documents there has been no improvement since the last visit and goes over the same treatment options that were discussed at the last visit. No new medication was prescribed and patient will continue on the same medication.
Is 99213 -25 the correct E&M service? Or no E&M at all?
