Consultation Code Seminars
Medicare no longer pays for the CPT consultation codes (ranges 99241-99245 and 99251-99255), as of Jan. 1, 2010. National Government Services is offering four seminars in March to help providers understand the changes in Medicare coding and payment for consultation services. Providers of all specialties should plan on attending one of these sessions.
