A patient requests to see you again. He had relief 6 months ago with trigger point injections and wants them repeated.
You see him, do brief history, focused eval, and repeat injections. You also discuss what meds he's taking and discuss stretches. Face to face time is 15 min.
Do you bill an EM code 99213 in addition to trigger point inj code (20552)? I've heard at a billing conference that some "chat time" is build INTO procedure codes.
