I'm running into issues billing for several of my sites...
The doctors will have the CC as "follow-up" or "routine" sometimes even "dm check 6-months" and there is always a full workup but the doctor puts like, 7-10 diagnosis codes in there, usually insignificant things like HTN, DM, obesity, etc... my problem lies where they keep putting the final diagnosis code as "Z00.00" this is troublesome to me because I never know- do I bill preventative CPT or E/M CPT?!
At first, I was trying to bill based off what the CC/HPI said but even then, it can be unclear which I should bill. For example, a visit will say something like "Patient presents for routine DM visit. Taking all meds as directed without side effect." and then will go on to be very detailed like a prevent visit, but then have 7 diagnosis including Z00.00. WHAT DO I DO?!
