Can someone please clarify if "Face to Face" means the patient must be present or is this "face to face" with family and/or patient? Since they removed the specific descriptors from the E/M codes there seems to be a debate on whether or not the patient needs to be present for 99212-99215's. I am interpreting "face to face" as time with patient and non face to face as time coordinating care etc. Please help!
