I would not send a narrative for this procedure, but the very detailed clinical documentation stating the necessity of the procedure.

What is the appropriate code for a patient who presents for an appointment but had to be rescheduled since they forgot to take their premedication antibiotics? No treatment was performed.t performed office visit
