Hello, When a provider provides services to the patients family, because the patient is not capable of physcially coming into the office to meet with the physician regarding his/her case because of mental retardation... Can we bill for that service. The doctor spent a long period of time with the family discussing the patients diagnosis and treatment to move forward with chemotherapy. The cpt book states that Counseling and/or coordination of care, .... consistent with the nature of the problem and the patients and/or family's needs.. also states physician typically spends time face-to-face with that patient AND/OR family????
any input would be greatly appreciated.. thank you
