Im having an issue with one of our Pediatric physicians charging 99212's when the child is only there for vaccines. She states that she takes vitals and goes into the room, however the nurse does the vitals and the dx she is using is V70.0. I relayed to her that to use 99212 there needs to be a problem other than just needing vaccines. This patient should have just been scheduled with nursing since there is no issue for the dr to attend to. So Im needing documentation to support this or even a tip if there is a dx where she can charge a 99212.
