Are you billing for prolonged services correctly? Prolonged services billing is complex and the codes and rules to report them vary by payer type. These codes are add-on codes to evaluation and management (E/M) services and are used when a physician or other qualified healthcare professional spends more time with a patient than the time allotted to the E/M code. Proper documentation is crucial to avoid denials and potential audits. Consult our Prolonged Services Guide found on our Billing and Payers page at https://buff.ly/qKBdQMW.
