Video Transcription

Video Summary

In the video, the speaker addresses a series of questions related to medical billing and coding. The first question asks about billing a same-day consult note with a procedure, to which the speaker explains that it is possible to bill with a modifier 25 if the services are significantly separate. However, if a procedure is pre-scheduled and done on the same day as a visit, it should not be billed separately. The speaker also mentions the importance of accurately documenting diagnosis codes. <br /><br />Other questions cover topics such as billing for endoscopic procedures, use of modifier 22 for additional time and effort, billing for a patient who fails to comply with screenings, and billing for endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty and endoscopic suturing. The speaker provides guidance on these topics, including the use of unlisted codes for certain procedures. The video concludes with a mention of upcoming topics and an invitation for viewers to ask additional questions. No credits are mentioned in the video.
