Pediatric patient, charged an e/m 99213 for both facility and pro fee; seen in full by resident and then just discussed with attending per her attestation.
Would you report 2 E/M visits and append GE on the pro fee e/m?
I have reviewed CMS guidelines and Coding Clinic 4th qtr 2013 but I am really confused when it would be appropriate to append GE/GC modifiers.
For example, if the peds clinic is owned by a teaching hospital - would these modifiers apply?
What are the teaching-physician rules, according to the Medicare Carrier Manual as it states that teaching physician (TP) that supervises a resident service in a clinic will use this.
Than you so much in advance!!!
