Help. Disagreement with co coder .
I have an np that did a well woman and found a lump in the pt breast. She ordered an us . I have no hpi as there was no complaint. I have no exam above the normal breast exam. All i have is mdm of moderate for new prob with work up. I say sick visit isnt billable because there is only 1 of 3 not 2 of 3. My co coder says she can bill the sick because she's doing additional work up.
