New MLM Transmittal on Consults
On February 24, 2010, Medicare released a revised MLM on consults (SE1010). It is essentially a Q&A. But, one question puzzles me...what does this mean???
Q. How should E/M services previously reported by CPT consultation codes and provided in a split/shared manner be billed?
A. The split/shared rules applying to E/M services remain in effect, including those cases where services would previously have been reported by CPT consultation codes.

I hope it doesn't mean that if it used to be a consult, it can't be billed as a shared service.
I hope.
There is an Open Door Forum tomorrow, and I'm going to listen in. Anyone can, and then ask a question.
