Is it ok to charge an E/M everytime a patient comes in for OMT's. I think so because the Dr's are working with Bones and nervers and these can change from each office visit. but I would like to know if anyone knows where to look on the web. for rules on this.

Thank you in advance

Chris :D

I was told by an auditor that it depends on their documentation. If the physician dictates that the patient is here for OMT, No E&M can be billed. If the physician dictates that the patient is here for pain, etc... then decides to perform the OMT, then they both can be billed.

Hope that helps!
