My gyn/oncs often see patients a few weeks after surgery to begin planning their chemotherapy. We bill the E&M with the 24 modifier since they are not seeing them for anything related to surgical aftercare but planning for treatment of the underlying condition. We have been using V65.49 but I am wondering if V72.83 might be more correct. Opinions?

Thanks,

Nancy
