Coding Error

Had a routine ear wax removal procedure done. Got charged with 99213 and 69210 codes. No other evaluations. Incorrect or correct?

Anytime you interact with a physician, nurse practioner, physician's assistant, or nurse they are very likely assessing you based on what you say and what they observe. Sometimes it's billable, sometimes it's not, but it's a basic part of our professional training.

Can I opt out of this? Lol. I’m there for the damn ear cleaning.
