During my internship I've noticed that some CPT codes are reported to Medicare using a HCPCS code (often a G code). I assume 'somewhere' on the CMS site I can find a correlation of these codes, so I can write them in my book, but I have not yet. Any idea where I could look? Thanks!
ANSWER
CPT vs HCPCS codes

Coding for Physicals- V70.0 vs V72.3x
Sharla asks -
When pt presents for annual physical and has GYN components to the exam, which ICD-9 would be used as primary dx V70.0 or V72.3x? There is conflicting information out there on this subject, it seems some folks use both codes with V70.0 as primary and some only use V72.3x.

I would love to hear some discussion on the differences of the diagnostic/therapeutic wedge resections (32666 - 32668) and also the wedge resections/biopsies (32607-32608). There is a lot of confusion with these codes between our coders, surgeons, and auditing department. Many times the surgeons will leave out wording such as 'complete resection' or 'attention to margins' and we have been told to then code it as a 32608 (for a lung mass) - even though the number of incisions and the rest of the op note and path report matches the description for a therapeutic wedge. The reimbursement is considerably different and this is causing a great deal of stress between departments. I'd really enjoy
some information on this!! ANSWER

I work in a Outpatient Cancer Center Facility and have a question on a new patient E&M visit. We have a new patient that scheduled a Second Opinion/New patient consultation appt. Patient's family came into the office without the patient for second opinion regarding his disease management. The patient was too ill to come into the appointment. Do you know if there is a New Patient E&M visit that we can bill? The visit was more than 30 minutes with more than 50% of the time in counseling.
