Our auditing department and billing dept disagree with each other on coding this and we are stuck between ( and getting dinged on audits). When we transitioned to EMR, they sided with Billing. This is alot of revenue. As a surgical practise, when a patient is seen as consult or as a new patient and a procedure such as breast aspiration or skin lesion removal is often done at that time. May we charge a New Patient E/M and the removal or procedure code? The provider is doing a new patient exam.....
