What level would you go with for the Number and Complexity of problems addressed for a Tubal consult?
I can't use the consult codes due to the patients insurance.
Patient is new to the surgeon and seen in the office. I'm working the Risk up as a 99204 he talked to the patient about the type of surgeries and risks. He mentions he read the referring providers note. But I'm struggling with what level to pick for the problem addressed since it's hard to see a decision for tubal ligation as as a chronic illness, new problem uncertain prognosis, acute illness with systemic symptoms or acute complicated injury.
Provider has picked a 99204 and he did not state time spent.
Any help with this type of visit will be greatly appreciated.
