Billing a preventative care (99385) and separate office visit same day

(1/1)

mloene09:
I have a question regarding one of the offices I bill for always bills a well exam and separate office visit on the same day is that legal ??

oneround:
As long as the other is medically necessary to be provided in conjunction with the preventative.  make sure to attach e Mod- 25.  The medical necessity for the additional E/M must be well documented

medauthor:
Yes, and be sure to attach the V code to the prev visit and your other diagnoses to your ov  :)

Michele:
I would find it odd if they did that on EVERY well visit though.  It does happen, but not on every patient that has a well visit.
