One of my dr's did a 99213 for bilaterla hip pain. The Left hip was a W/C injury while the right hip was for the pt's commercial insurance. Is it ok to bill W/C and the commercial insurance for this visit or am I "doubling up". Does these need to be specific documentation on either side?

Thanks.:cool:
 
You should have two separate notes - one for W/C and one for the commercial insurance. I assume he evaluated each hip separately.
Per CPT guidelines and from a CPT perspeective, all codes billed for must meet or exceed the key components to the E/M level selected.
