We have situations whereby the Doctor is conducting a phone call to a patient who is out of state, and at that time the Doctor is reviewing patient Medical History and testing in order for the patient to be set up for a face to face consultation in the near future.
He typically spends 45-60 minutes reviewing and discussing these results and findings with the patient during that phone encounter.
The patient now comes in for their Initial face to face Office visit with the doctor, how would you code this?
Does the Prolonged Service w/out Direct Patient Care apply in this situation?
