My initial response would have been no, but I looked at the description of the cpt codes to see.
They indicate that nursing home visits have to have 3 key components and then they give a typical amount of time for each code. The amount of time states " 10 (or whatever) minutes with the patient and/or family and/or caregiver." The and/or is the key word here. If the dr spent time reviewing the patient's charts, made changes to medication, and consulted with the staff, then it would looks like it would be ok to bill for the appropriate level of NH visit based on the key components and time spent.
