Hi, my doctor saw a patient on one day, then 2 days later he wants to see her again for f/up for same reason and diagnosis. How can I bill this? he was wondering if I can bill it as a emergency type visit, or is there a modifier that can be used? Remember, the diagnosis is the same, but pt wanted to see dr, and did not want to wait for 2 week f/up.

They would both be coded as the appropriate E&M service. Just because they are done in the same week does not mean it should be coded differently. It is not unheard of for a dr to see a patient twice in one week for the same condition, depending on what that condition was. For example, pts with conjuctivitis can be seen 2 - 3 times in one week. A patient with high blood pressure may be requested to come in again to see if the medication is working. There are many circumstances that a patient may be seen more than 1 time in a week.

Which is it? You say the doctor wanted the follow-up in 2 days, and then you say patient wanted to see doctor?
There's quite a difference between 2 days and 2 weeks IMO

The issue is that the patient needed to see the dr within a few days of the 1st visit, same reason, my concern is if the insurance co.will deny the 2nd visit as inclusive to the 1st visit.

I agree these are different encounters and should be billed as such. As long as his documentation is there, push to get both paid. nj
