If the only reason that patient came in was for the injection, then you can only charge for the injection not an ov.

Yes, we do bill for nurse visits/injections...
99211, 90633, 90471....We do paid. Also was audit by an insurance company and was informed that it was correct billing.....

That really surprises me, I agree with Melissa, why would you charge a nurse visit on top of the administration fee!
What insurance did the audit...

HMO did the audit....
It is inappropriate to bill a 99211 for an injection visit. Unless they are documenting a separate problem unrelated to the injection it is included in the administration charge.

Thanks Rhonda,
I did verify this info and ALL 5 pt's charts had seperate problem unrelated to the injection.
I will make sure that this is not being abused.....
