Good afternoon!
Help please - for the sake of the question assume that all documentation/medical necessity criteria, etc. has been met.
If a provider sees a patient and documents 15 diagnoses and wants to electronically submit all diagnoses to Medicare - how would you link the extra diagnoses to a CPT code? I know you would not submit an office visit x2 - for example 99213 - linking a certain number of DX's and 99213 linking the rest. What CPT code and/or dummy code would you use to link the extra DX's?
Thank you
