Although we can't bill for a consent, isn't it true that we can bill for the time spent with a patient for informing and educating them with regards to the consent?
 
As long as it's not global to procedure

As long as it's not global to the procedure, yes, you can code using the appropriate E/M level based on time spent in counseling/coordination of care.

Check CPT guidelines to be sure your documentation supports this.

Hope that helps.
