Medical Coding

Answer: B - 99305 is the correct code for the initial nursing facility care evaluation and management requiring a comprehensive history and examination as well as moderate-complexity medical decision making requiring 35 minutes of time at the nursing facility or by the patient’s bedside.
Code 99304 is incorrect because this code is for a low-complexity or straightforward medical decision making evaluation and management of initial nursing facility care. Code 99306 is incorrect because this code is for an initial evaluation and management of a patient at a nursing facility that requires high-complexity medical decision making. Code 99307 is incorrect because this code is for subsequent visits and not the initial evaluation and management visit to the nursing facility.
