I currently work for 5 family physicians and a few specialist. One in which is a GI specialist. Whith that said, Need help with this scenario.
My family physician sees a patient, determines he/she needs a colonoscopy. Referres the patient to the GI doc. But the first visit to the GI doc, is seen by a P.A for a PRE-OP for the colonoscopy. Then the next visit with the GI doc, he does the colooscopy.
Question- Is the visit for the pre-op with the P.A consider a consult or just a regular office visit E/M. My opion is it should be coded as an office visit E/M. My my boss tells me other wise. (lol)
