Help!
I have a doc who is billing a well visit (ie: 99396) AND medical clearance (ie: 99243 private ins.) on the same day.
I'm saying no way this can be right, 2 E/M's on same day, not to mention using same key components for both codes. It would be double dipping in my opnion, but I need to prove my point and am looking for any guidelines that prove this is wrong.
Have looked through CPT without any success.
Any direction you can give me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for your input,
