So don't code it as V25.whatever - you code as treatment of menorrhagia 626.whatever and E/m level 2 or 3 depending on how much time you spend in evaluation and or counseling! And then you bill the drug in a similar way. Yep - if you say you are only doing the contraception, then you follow those rules. If you are doing something else, then you DOCUMENT and CHARGE as what you did do.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
