I had recently been told by a claims representative that billing for multiple E/M codes on the same date of service (even by different providers for different problems, but in the same practice) was unacceptable "per CPT rule".
As many coding things do, the logic escapes me if there were separately-identifiable services rendered to this patient. How would that differ from someone having two physician visits in different offices on the same date?
I have reviewed my 2008 and 2009 CPT, along with archived CPT Assistant and have found no reference to this inference.
Can anyone help?
