Wiki Non Face to Face Visit

[jenp2005]

I need a little help with a provider that visiting with family of a patient but the patient was not there to discuss placing the patient in a nursing new. Are there any billable and payable E/M Code or codes I could use for this type of visit.
Thanks,

We have always explained to the family ahead of time that there will be an out of pocket charge for such visits. We have a set hourly charge and payment is collected as they leave.
