Hello,
I am looking for documentation guidelines for code G0463. I am coding for a hospital based outpatient infusion clinic. In the HCPCS, G0463 is described as "hospital outpatient clinic visit for assessment and management of a patient". This reads to me like an E&M service. My thinking is if a patient is coming in for an infusion/transfusion/phlebotomy specifically ordered by the physician, I don't believe we can charge for a G0463 UNLESS documentation supports a separately identifiable assessment and management service. Am I reading too much into this? Any links to guidelines or specifics regarding documentation for this code would be VERY helpful!
Thank you!
