A satirical look from The Independent Urologist:
Case report: A 41-year-old man was referred from another provider for the evaluation of 606.1. The patient underwent an out-of-network 99244 at our office. An 81000 and 87088, authorized to be performed in our office, were negative. Additional blood tests, 83001, 83002, 84146, and 84403 were sent to a participating laboratory facility and were in the normal range. Multiple 89310s revealed 606.0. 76870 and 76872 were performed and were normal. A 99213 was then undertaken with the patient and the provider and the patient was counseled by the provider to undergo a 55110, 55300-rt, 55300-lt-50, 74440, 54500-rt, 54500-lt-50 with 89264 and 49568-52, of course, all under 69999.
