Our providers see patients in the nursing home setting and trying to bill a 99307 for review of labs when the patient is not present/not being seen. Some are under the impression that the since an exam is not needed for this low level visit they can do a "visit" while the patient is not on the unit/floor. No changes in medication are being done so I don't see any MDM. Can someone please verify that in order to bill an E/M service the patient needs to present?
