The Reason for Visit page includes several pieces of key information that are required if you will be using the E&M code verifier (USA only). Several fields have to be completed for the E&M code verifier to properly evaluate and suggest the appropriate billing code (Category of Service, HPI, Chief Complaint, etc...) It is strongly recommended that you first review and understand the requirements from HCFA regarding the E&M coding standard and that you complete properly the required information.
The reason for visit also permits providers to define for what eye the exam is for. The default value is for both eyes.
IMPORTANT:
Based on the information entered in the various Filopto Exam screens the Code Verifier will evaluate and suggest, based on the HCFA E & M coding standard, the most appropriate CPT (procedure) code to use for billing the service. The suggested code is designed only to assist physicians in determining the appropriate level of E/M service. The physician is ultimately responsible for understanding and complying with all coding rules. See E&M Code Verifier section for more information.
