Is there a way to bill for coumdin management?. Pt is on coumadin for DVT and my provider has been managing this for the last 3 months

Thank you,

You can code each visit and lab test or you can use the codes 99363 or 99364. Look in the CPT for the guidelines about these codes

Here is a link for a recent May 2010 article. It's pretty good as it covers MCare and Non-MCare
