Hello -

Anyone know of good resources for when time-based E&M can be provided when the patient is not present?
 
We use code 90846 when a provider meets with a family member/partner etc. to discuss the patient's care and the patient was not included in the meeting. It's a stand alone code and can be in person or teleheath and has to be at least 27 minutes in length so make sure the notes are documented

thank you - we use this as well, looking for more a situation where the parent is the reporter for a 5 year old child not present and brief visit for update on symptoms, side effects, med compliance and refills.
