Could someone please give me guidance for the following scenario:
I have a patient who thinks we should be billing his visits under preventative medicine because there is no copay with Anthem under his plan.
He is being followed every 6 months with a diagnosis of 600.10. The office visits have been billed as 99213 and the only lab work done is a urinalysis. I do not think this should be billed as preventative medicine since we are following him for a medical problem. I would appreciate any help from someone more experienced in this area.
