We are a large multispecialty surgical group. One of our surgeons performed surgery on a patient months ago....all that was charged was the surgery, no E/M code was billed at that time. Now, we have the patient returning to the office to see another of our surgeons with a different diagnosis. I was once told, long time ago, that as long as the patient has never been billed for an E/M code, they can still be new once they come to the office. Is this true or has it changed? I can't find anything specifically on this matter.
Thanks for your time in reading!
