Medical procedure code 99213 is part of the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) system, specifically used for outpatient office visits. It indicates an established patient visit that is typically of moderate complexity, often involving a problem-focused or expanded problem-focused history, examination, and medical decision-making. This code is commonly used for visits that require 15-29 minutes of total time spent with the patient. It is commonly associated with routine follow-up care or management of chronic conditions.
99213 - Office or other outpatient visit for the evaluation and management of an established patient:
To bill for both 99213 (an office visit) and 76857 (an ultrasound), you would typically use modifier 25 on the E/M code (99213). Modifier 25 indicates that the E/M service was significant and separately identifiable from the procedure performed (the ultrasound) on the same day. Ensure that documentation supports the medical necessity for both services.
Procedure codes 99396 and 99213 can be billed on the same date of service if the services meet the criteria for separate and distinct encounters. Code 99396 is typically for a preventive medicine consultation, while 99213 is for an established office visit that may involve a problem-focused evaluation. Proper documentation is essential to justify the medical necessity of both services. It's advisable to check with specific payer guidelines, as they may have additional requirements for billing both codes together.
