My physician performs cysto’s with pyelograms and if needed, stent removals, placements, etc…

THEN

he dictates that he "trasports the patient to the lithotripsy suite and placed supine on the table".

I can’t find any real guidance on whether this would be considered a separate procedure by definition of a "separate encounter".

Any thoughts? If you agree or disagree, do you know of any documentation out there that supports either side?
