Wiki Pacemaker check

[krisfelty]

Question: Can a PA who asked that a patient come in for a pacemaker check bill for an E/M service when there was no real HPI, ROS and the Exam was only constitutional and psychiatric. MDM was " normal dual-chamber device function, battery is "aging", will recheck in 3 months?? He billed a 99213.

Thank you,

Kris Felty, CPC

In this case, looks like the P.A should just billed for the pacemaker check.
