I work in a pediatric office and we see lots of ADD/ADHD patients who come in for med checks. Currently we are just billing out the V58.83 (encounter for theraputic drug monitoring) However, it states below to 'use additional code for any associated long term (current) drug use V58.61-V58.69.' It is debated whether or not we need the additional V58.69 or if the V58.83 is sufficient to be billed alone with the 314.XX code. Not always has the patient been on medication for 'long term' in some cases they were just put on the medication and are just coming in for a 3 month med check other cases are those that have been on for long term.
I would just like to get some other view on how other billers would choose to code this. Thanks in advance.
