Need help with an ESRD coding question.
For ESRD Services, age 20 or older.
If the patient was seen for 3 FTF visits (example dates: 12/1, 12/4, 12/7) and had a complete assessment done (example date: 12/15). What is the correct code to bill – 90960 or 90961?
In reading CPT, one of the examples infer coding 90961, but some have said that the complete assessment (because it’s a FTF visit) counts as a visit date too, thus coding 90960 is correct.
I haven’t been able to located a resource to support one way or the other. Help is appreciated. Thank you!
