I am having a day today, any help or opinions will be greatly appreciated.
Here is my question.
Both doctor and pa see a patient in the office on the same day.
Doctor does a very brief history and refers to the pa note for full history and physical then documents the medical decision making piece.
PA documents a comprehensive history and detailed exam and references doctors note for the MDM piece.
This is an outpaitent consult. Neither meet the requirement to bill based on the 3 of 3 requirements for a consult and per CMS guidelines consults can not be split/shared. What would be the most appropriate way to bill this? I am leaning towards 99499 under the doctor but submitting both providers notes.
Again any insight is welcomed.
Thanks,
Laura, CPC
