18. Billing a Patient as New & Established
I am interested in learning about providers billing a
patient as new and established at the same time. I
came across a claim the provider billed three lines of
service. A 99386 - Preventative visit - dx - Well GYN
exam. The 2nd line billed the Q code which is ok, they
also attached a 25 modifier to 99386. The 3rd line
billed a 99213 - Established Patient - Office or other
outpatient visit, attached a modifier 25 to this code as
well. ANSWER

19. 7th Digits & ICD-10 Terminology
S42.271A Torus fracture of upper end of right humerus, initial encounter
(with Dr. A) for closed fracture.
S42.271G Torus fracture of upper end of right humerus, subsequent
encounter for fracture with delayed healing (with Dr. A).
Suppose the patient seeks out Dr. B at another practice to go to when they
experience delayed healing.... would it still be coded S42.271G even
though it was the initial visit for that doctor?
ANSWER

20. CPT 36415 replaced with 36410?
Hi, I code cpt 36415 along with labs and have
noticed that Medicare and most other carries,
deny as global (considered routine & is not
covered) except when billed with "Physicals", I
have also noticed 36415 is not anywhere on CCI
edits however 36410 is. Is 36410 the preferred
venipuncture code for lab draws now? - Teresa
ANSWER

21. Mutually Exclusive Procedures
Which one of these procedures is not considered a
mutually exclusive procedure?
A. Bilateral DM foot exam on a BKA
B. Mammogram on male patient
C. PSA test on Mrs. Jones
D. Pregnancy test on post-hysterectomy patient
POLL / ANSWER

22. Mutually Exclusive Procedures
Correct Answer
B. Mammogram on male patient

23. Vaccine Administration
I know one is by the MD and he is to be doing
face to face and give the shots not the RN, is
that correct? If it is given and a face to face with
a PA or a NP etc that is coded another way.
Can you go over the scenarios? This has been
a point of contention and how to interpret this
guideline at our office. Much appreciated.
ANSWER
