E/M & Voiding Trial

Many times our provider will see a patient that has been in urinary retention and do an E/M and then a voiding trial on the same day. They will prescribe a medication (such as Bactrim) to cover for the Voiding Trial. For the E/M, they have enough dictation for a 99214 because of prescribing the Bactrim, but would I include the Bactrim in the procedure instead of in the E/M part of the visit?
 
I'm not sure what you mean about 'including Bactrim'. Oral meds are not coded out as a charge, but you could use the Rx as part of your table of risk.
