Have you ever had a patient spend more time with you than you expected? Do you understand exactly which codes to report and the rules that govern them in exchange for receiving better reimbursement? Prolonged Service codes were specially designed for this purpose, but you must strictly adhere to the documentation and coding guidelines to avoid complications. When an Evaluation and Management code has been reported as the primary code, are these “add-on” codes reportable? There are three Prolonged Service codes, but we will emphasize codes 99354-99357 here.
