NOTE: 45 minutes of non face-to-face time was spent in the preparation of this report as I reviewed past medical reports (review of records), UR/Insurance letters, labor code, ACOEM, and/or other evidence based medical investigations and treatment guidelines; This non-face-to-face time is billable per Title 8 CCR §9789.11 and the OMFS Book. Therefore, I shall be billed three 99358 CPT code for this reports preparation. Furthermore, this non-face-to-face time / preparation time was made mandatory in the recent WCAB ruling Smith vs. Churn Creek Construction Company and State Compensation Insurance Fund (June 2004) 69 CCC 1012 (Board Panel Decision). More explicitly, the commissioners ruled that the PTP was "required to explain why his original recommendation for epidural blocks was reasonably required to cure and relieve from the effects of the injury in this employee. (Lab. Code, § 4604.5[Deering's].)"
