OK, after all of that my question is; would you code this as a Preventive or New Patient. My provider did both. I don't feel this is correct. Thanks for your help as always.
 
I would have the V70.0 code moved to the priamry diagnosis, since it is a primary diagnosis only and for the E&M I would code the 99386 along with 99201 with modifier 25 to say the doctor went above and beyond the preventative medicine visit with an acute symptom such as the breast pain. I counted the chronic conditions as part of the wellness visit. Hope this helps.
