Per CPT Assistant, October 2006, both CPT codes would be reported as for a new patient. The 99214 is incorrect per this instruction.
CPT Code 99214- Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient.
99214
99212 99213 99214
CPT Code 99214- Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient.
CPT Code 99214- Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient.
Both these codes are for evaluation and management visits. The general rule is that you cannot bill these two E/M codes when the same provider performs the E/M. However, if the patient sees two different providers (from different specialties) on the same DOS, you can report these two codes with appropriate modifier.
99211, 99212, 99213, 99214, or 99215
Review Modifier -59 is if applicable
CPT Code 63680 is a wrong Code.
