We do bill for a couple of these but honestly most are not covered.  They are billed in addition to an E&M code and most insurances either do not cover or they are inclusive of the E&M (even with a 25 modifier).

I took this as looking for ways to document medical necessity to which I nor anyone else really can answer. The coding needs to "support" the documentation in the file. The codes provided were services codes to which diagnosis codes are assigned by the provider's documented and signed notes.
