E/M Visit and CPM Services

Question:

Can you bill E/M level 99202-99215 in conjunction with CPM codes (Chronic Pain Management)

Answer:

Yes, Providers can bill both (E/M) visits with the CPM codes. It is important that the documentation supports an E/M visit that is separate from the time and documentation related to the CPM service. The medical record documentation needs to support each service being performed by extracting the E/M documentation from the CPM note, and both the E/M visit. The CPM service should individually demonstrate the time spent and the elements addressed without duplication from the E/M level service.
