Medical Coding and Insurance Essay
Description
You are the office manager of a cardiology practice that has just hired a new physician. After a short period of time you notice that he is billing a 99205 for all his new patients. In addition, while he is documenting when an EKG is being performed in his office notes, he does not document the code on his superbill.
- How would you communicate to this new provider, the need to correctly assign CPT codes to the services he is providing?
