Good Afternoon
If a new patient presents to our office for ear pain while chewing. The doctor completes all the elements required for a 99203 and also a 69220. The findings are debris in the mastoid cavity and TMJ. Patient is being referred out for the TMJ.
Can the E/M be billed along with the procedure?
Per NCCI guidelines the new patient E/M would be included in the procedure.
Thank you,
Beth
