Good Morning, My internal med Doc does pre-op exams for the patient's specialist. Am I able to code "pre-op" exam for two visits, the first visit would be the initial request by specialist and reviewing chart with decision based on what is in the chart. The second visit may be needed as a followup because our Doc had to send the patient out for further testing: labs, echo, xray...and then come back for that second visit to review and then make the medical decision. Is this ok in some instances especially when a patient has not had any of the above tests in a year or so? thank you....Marla
