I code for a family practice clinic. One of my doctors just got his certification for addiction billing. He saw a patient for an acute problem, performed an annual, and counseling for smoking. This patient has BCBS, so no MC codes.
99214
99396
99406
99396 and 99406 are both screening codes, neither is a 'procedure', so 59 is not applicable. I know that 25 needs to be appended to 99214. How can I bill the other 2 as well without it bundling them together? Should I have him add the counseling time into the 99214 instead? Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
