Can anyone provide assist us in clearing up the confusion of billing E&M codes when “minor” procedures are performed?
Does the policy change if the “minor” procedure is performed at a hospital setting?
How does this affect billing an E&M code with a minor procedure for a new patient?
We have received conflicting information regarding billing an E/M with a minor proceure. Some documentation states you can never bill for an E/M with a minor procedure and other documentation states you can.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
