This might be a little odd but since I have been doing coding I always look at my mom's EOBs and Dr Bills for her. Well she went into the hospital for an outpatient colonoscopy; and the Dr also billed a 99213 with it. I asked her if he talked to her prior or after the procedure and she said , " yes for about 10 minutes prior to the procedure, but it was regarding about what he was going to be doing for the colonscopy."
1) I do not think he can bill an outpatient E/M the same day she done the conoscopy. Does anyone else think this?
2) If it isn't possbile he bills both where can I find proof so I can present it to the Dr or to the insurance company.
I'm concerned because I do not want my mom to pay this bill if it was coded incorrectly.
The Dr's at my work never charge an office visit with the colonscopy done on the same day. * unless it was inpatient *
Hopefully someone can help me out
