Question:
Can a medically necessary evaluation and management (E&M) visit be billed on the same day as the lung cancer screening counseling and shared decision-making visit?
Answer:
As long as the national coverage determination (NCD) requirements for the counseling and shared decision-making visit are met, it may be billed on the same day as a medically necessary E&M visit or an annual wellness visit with the -25 modifier.
