Can an office visit be billed in conjunction with a surgical code?
If the service is performed at the time of the initial visit and the service constitutes the major service rendered during the initial visit, an office visit will be paid when billed as CPT Code 99025. When an established patient is scheduled to have the surgical procedure performed during a follow-up office visit, and that service is the primary reason for the visit, payment will be made only for the surgical procedure. An office visit will not be paid for that date of service.
