Question....
If I have a patient that comes in and the service is equal to a 99214 (25 min) and the doctor also documents additional face to face time counseling the patient, etc. an additional (60 min) and then she gives the patient Botox injections (30 mins)...would you code
99214
99354 x 1
64612-50 x1
or do you also count the time it took to do the procedure in prolonged services? I have a doctor that thinks she should get the additional 30 min for the procedure (CPT 99355) because it's face to face time. I told her the time is already included in the procedure and that it's not included in the face to face time. Please help me! If I am wrong I want to do it right!
Thanks,
Heather
