There are numerous billing/coding issues that arise in a given provider’s office daily. As an example, “Can a doctor document that they spent 46 minutes in the critical care unit with a patient, or must they document that they saw the patient from 10:00am to 10:46am”? The answer to this often asked question is clearly answered through Nebraska’s WPS website. The answer is “The medical record should show three key pieces of information.
The total time of the visit, the time or percent of the visit that was spent in counseling/coordination of care, and the nature of the counseling/coordination of care. When the physician uses the total minutes or the clocked time is a personal decision. Medicare needs to be able to see the three pieces of documentation as listed above. Time may be estimated, but that estimate along with the total duration of the visit, must be recorded when time is used for the selection of the level of a service that involves predominantly coordination of care and or counseling.
Another often asked question from providers and provider’s staff is “Is form completion considered counseling/coordination of care”? The answer is no, it is not considered counseling/coordination of care. Counseling/Coordination of care is face-to-face time the provider spends with the patient in services other then the history, exam, or medical decision making. Examples include discussing changes in the patients medical condition, lifestyle changes, new medications and new testing. This also includes discussing referrals to other providers and ordering tests if it meets the time criteria.
