Hello,
I am looking for resources for pediatric hematology and oncology. I have physicians who are billing for chemo on the same day as E/M. They are under the impression that they can bill level 4/5 visit since they are monitoring the patient for toxicity and deciding if they should proceed with the chemo. I am telling them they can't bill an E/M and chemo on the same day unless the patient has a new issue. Since the patient is coming in for chemo, the workup prior to the chemo is included. I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you.
