Pre-op / Post op visits

Hi there, I need some guidance as to coding for post-op / pre-op E/M visits:

Scenario #1:

s/p tonsillectomy 9/30/14 (initial post op visit on 10/27/14)

Problem #1: PHARYNGITIS, ACUTE, RECURRENT

Problem #2: ECZEMA

**Should I bill a 99024 OR the established CPT code of 99213 with a modifier being the physician address the eczema also?
———————————————————————
Scenario #2:

initial consult with cardiologist for pre-op evaluation (colonoscopy & abnormal EKG)

Problem #1: PRE-OP CARDIAC CLEARANCE
Problem #2: OLD MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Problem #3: ABNORMAL EKG

**Based on the guidelines this should be coded as a consultation, correct? and NOT a new patient/established code due to the patient didn’t request the consult?

Thanks so much in advance for any guidance on this
