Medical records, telephone CPT codes to use???

[pajohnson]

Hi All,
I am in need of some CPT codes that I can use to bill when the doctor is reviewing medical records, reading MRI/imaging reports. telephone calls, anything that applies to compiling patient records and phone calls. My Doctor spends A LOT of time on this and wants to bill for it. So please help me with which CPT codes I can use.....

Thank for all your help in advance!!!

the review of medical records and test is a part of the E&M as MDM. Phone calls to be billed must be initiated by the patient and occur more than 7 days after an office encounter . IF he documents time spent in review of the medical chart and IF it is relevant that the time be spent and IF it is a minimum of 30 minutes you can use the 99358 but this is a stand alone code and represents that the review took place on a day other than the encounter.
