Primary care physician coding is basically E&M coding and some office procedures. The PCP's in which I code for provide basic office services and some minor procedures such as: lesion removals, therapeutic injections, immunizations, wart removals, etc. Each practice is somewhat different as some of these PCP's will also provide some joint aspirations/injections, sometimes fracture care and casting. Mostly E&M coding is probably the majority of this type of coding.
