I had a question about my NICU providers billing consult codes on mom that OB requests. These are primarily time-based visits counseling on high-risk pregnancies and what to expect at the time of delivery. They are documenting the HPI, indicating review of labs and/or ultrasounds then counseling on what to expect at time of delivery. They are not documenting an examination and I was wondering if the exam component is needed to bill out the consult code? Or should this be counseling codes 99401-99404 for risk-factor reduction?
