I have a question. When a patient is only seen because he was being taught how to self inject meds. Can you bill for office visit level 1?
Thanks.

Who is seeing the patient? The dr? A nurse? If so, it sounds like they would meet the requirements of a level 1 E&M visit.

A nurse.

# Established Outpatient: CPT Code 99211
1. Key components not required
2. Physician need not be present (only supervising)
3. E/M Minimal Problem
4. Staff Time: 5 minutes
Sounds like it meets the requirements! :)

i agree with Michele. anytime a pt sees a nurse only, it would be level 1
