I am at a new practice and the Dr. frequently uses 307.81(tension headache) to bill for e/m exam.
I don't recall EVER using this code at my previous office and in fact when I looked at my old superbill, headache was listed under 784.0? But honestly I don't think I ever used that one either. When I tried to look up billing guidelines for Optometry with those codes, it pulls up mostly chiropractic billing issues.
Any billers out there have any input on what you code for headache and if you are getting reimbursed.
Thanks!
