This quick reference sheet provides guidance for billing preventive medicine services and split visits. When can you bill for both an office visit AND a preventive code? When can you bill for only one or the other? Practical guidance based on the patient’s medical history, what the HPI says, abnormal findings, and what the assessment or plan says.
