Is that like cheating?

Just wondering.  :D

Michele:
The M0064 is a lower reimbursement than the 90862 because it is a minimal medical check only, no therapy.  The 90862 is a more complex visit.

PMRNC:
I started using it back when Medicare announced they were going to start flagging overuse of 90862. Many times a patient comes in, doctor say's how's it going, patient says eh, it's ok, but not great.. doctor says.. let's adjust dosage, and your outta there. 15 min or less usually.  90862 SHOULD only be used when the provider IS ACTUALLY providing at least minimal therapy with the med check.  Good example of overuse is the docs that make the nursing home rounds, those are ones Medicare really scrutinizes for overusing the 90862.

rdmoore2003:
As long as the services are billed as separate rendering providers, I have never had an issue with authorizations or reimbursements.  A 90862 is a quick visit but 90805 is med check with therapy.   We do not use the M code at all.
