CPT Knowledgebase - Jul 2, 2024

Our physician appeared at a hearing for 2 hours to give medical testimony regarding an examination of a patient along with 4.5 hours of actual time spent reviewing the medical records to prepare for the hearing. Is code 99075 a time-based code? Does this code include the preparation for the medical testimony by reviewing the patient's medical records along with providing the actual medical testimony?
