I have a cosmetic case that cancelled after preop exam but before induction. Do I bill an E/M code or the time? The anesthesiologist is telling me that no E/M code is needed because it is self-pay. I'm thinking that I should bill the E/M code because the surgery never started due to patients afib with uncontrolled rate. Are rules different for self pay cases?
