Conditions in the descriptor
Level A has no minimum time, but it is not simply a short consultation. The descriptor requires an obvious problem of a straightforward nature needing a short history and, if required, limited examination. If you took a history, examined the patient and implemented a management plan over 6 minutes or more, the service is Level B (item 23) and billing Level A understates it. Level A is also excluded whenever another item in the Schedule applies.
