I have several physicians questioning how they are coding those long ADD visits for their patients. One is coding 99214 with prolonged service code 99354. (Time documented = 1 hour with patient & parents) They other is coding a 99215 only (Time documented = 45 minutes). Is one better then the other? Are they both correct? We are getting reimbursed for both ways.
Any help is appreciated.
