ABSTRACT
During the COVID-19 public health emergency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is allowing equal payment for telephone E/M encounters and in-person E/M encounters (99212-99214). [...]when provided at a separate encounter where no contraceptive management (e.g., intrauterine device insertion) takes place, you may report time-based preventive medicine counseling codes (99401-99404) with ICD-10 code Z30.09, “Encounter for other general counseling and advice on contraception.” CARE PLAN CREATION FOR PATIENT WITH COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT What documentation is required to support code 99483 for assessing a patient with cognitive impairment and then creating and sharing a care plan? A copy of the care plan that was created following the assessment must be part of the patient's medical record, and your documentation should indicate that a copy of the care plan was given to the patient or caregiver(s).
ABSTRACT
Can I bill an E/M office visit based on medical decision making, plus a preventive physical exam code? The code revisions are unlikely to affect how you bill for preventive care services provided on the same date as a problem-oriented office visit. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) defines G2012 as communication to determine if a face-to-face visit is needed, while code 99441 does not have a defined intent.
