Can anyone tell me if it’s acceptable to bill 99483 (assessment of and care planning for a patient with cognitive impairment) with 99358 (Prolonged e&m service, non direct)? I have a provider who is insisting this is ok, when they are using the prolonged service portion to complete the paperwork, etc. for the 99483. Any thoughts?:confused::cool:
