Hello All,
Trying to get others thoughts. Physician wants to bill a 99231 for this statement:
I spoke with the patients' son and discussed why a bronchoscopy has been asked for. Son says that his mother has been treated for TB twice once for 9 months and he would prefer that we do not do a bronchoscopy. Dr. __ was present as well to help interpret.
I do not think it is billable, (no exam, no medical decision making).
Would like others input. Please explain why if you think it is billable.
Thank you.
