Without thought to revenue, is it possible for a provider to ONLY use established patient E/Ms (99211-99215)? I know this seems different, but I have a provider (within a large group) that does not want to bill using new patient codes.
All the research I have done gives direction on when NOT to use new patient codes. My question is, are payors ok with only billing established? especially Medicare? I can not find anything definitive that says we MUST bill new codes for new patients. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you
