CPT code 95251 ACGM - interpretation and report.
I have a physician that wants to also bill for a E&M visit to give the results to the patient. I explained to him that in order to bill an office visit (99212-99215) separate from the interpretation, he would need to document what was discussed and the changes he made to the patient's medical regimen based on what he interpreted.
He would not be able to bill an office visit to just give the results of the test, because he was already being reimbursed for the interpretation.
Of course I am in the dog house..Opinions?
Thanks,
Barbara
