Need opinions: One person in our office says that if a patient states in his/her words that they are here for a "Complete Physical" then he/she must be seen and billed for a 9938x-9939x (Comprehensive Preventive Visits).
The second person in our office states, if the provider performs a comprehensive exam and deals with multiple chronic conditions, medications, lab review a diagnostic visit can be billed (99201-99215).
The second person in our office states, if the provider performs a comprehensive exam and deals with multiple chronic conditions, medications, lab review a diagnostic visit can be billed (99201-99215).
So what do the coders think. Who is right #1 or #2.
