Then you need to use a 25 modifier, as others have noted. --- Lynn Montgomery <apgar10@thebirthcentermt.com> wrote: > Listers, > > I would like opinions regarding a billing question; > when a patient > presents for an office visit for an IUD insertion or > colposcopy for > example, is one allowed to bill an office visit in > addition to the > actual procedure being performed (i.e. 99203 for > office visit and 58300 > for IUD insertion).

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.
