Is anyone else billing for this service?
Physician or other qualified health care professional qualified by education, training, licensure/regulation (when applicable) education services rendered to patients in a group setting (eg, prenatal, obesity, or diabetic instructions).
We have a Endocrinologist that would like to start seeing patients in a group setting as well as individually and would like to charge accordingly. An office visit could be charged for the individual appointment and the 99078 could be charged for the group session on the same day, but I am conflicted on that. Charging an office visit to encompass both sessions doesn't seem right either, essentially not billing for 99078.
No payment from Medicare on 99078. I suspect no payment from other payers as well, but can't prove it....yet.
