I have ask this question before on time coding and how much documentation should there actually be to warrent the time given. For example: The provider did a Subjective, no Objective, Impression/Plan. At the end he states: "Extensive time was spent counseling patient on the etiology of her overactive bladder." 45 minutes spent with patient, greater than 50% of the time was spent face-to- face in discussion and coordination of care.
I don't feel that the one sentence is enough to warrent 45 minutes. I want to send this back to the provider for more documentation.
Does anybody have any comments on this gray area of time spent coding.
Please help!!!
