I have a provider questioning the coding of time. For example a 99213 is 15 minutes and 99214 is 25 minutes. (I realize it has to be greater than these "typical" times with greater than 50% in counseling and coordination). The provider is saying if it is 21 minutes you would round up to the 99214. I have never heard of this but have also never been asked this question either. He provided me an article from the AAP which talked about rounding up. Has anyone else encountered this?
