I have a Cardiologist who is asking about billing 99401 for 15 minutes of weight loss counseling. Documentation is clear that different weight loss methods were discussed and the effect the patient's BMI has on his conditions.... But if the physician is already billing an office visit 99212-99215, wouldn't you technically consider the weight loss counseling part of the E/M visit?
Any thoughts on this?
I'd appreciate any feedback (-:
