Hi
We have knowledgeable staff member in our office for years who instructs patients how to take their humira or hepatitis injections. Sometimes she is with the patient for almost an hour answering their questions. Since she is not a nurse and has no certification as a medical assistant, can we still bill for a 99211 visit for these teachings. Any guidance you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
