Hello coders! Can anyone please clarify the correct process for the indicating the initial diagnosis & CPT in a telehealth visit, and then the follow-up diagnosis & CPT when they present in person for the full exam?
One of the nurse practitioners noted that for a telehealth visits they put well women without exam diagnosis because they can’t perform exam via telehealth visit. The patient will then follow up in the office for a physical exam and then the provider would put well women with exam as the diagnosis. I understand for some coverages, that there can only be a dx of well women (with or without exam) a certain number of times a year.
Thank you in advanced!
