I have a patient that was seen for knee pain in July by our pcp. Dr. assessed and decided to inject the knee and patient was told to f/u prn. We billed ov and procedure.
Patient came back in December and saw our PA stating knee pain was back for the past month. The PA injected the knee and ordered an x-ray. Would I could an office visit with the procedure again? I would think that because this patient was already assessed for knee pain in the past, I should only code the injection but I am not sure because this time they decided to order an x-ray.
