Prolinged service

If I provide a copmprehensive new patient 99205 AND SPEND MORE THAN THE 60 MIN TO PERFORM IT(additional 30+ min) CAN I ADD THE 99354 if no counseling is done. Is it ok if counseling is done?

yep,

as long as it is face-to-face time. So if it is an asthmatic that you try to treat in the office with continuous nebs, and you stay with the patient, it counts. I would record the actual times and be sure your schedule does not have 4 other patients scheduled and seen in that time period.

99205 and prolonged services

Would require 90 minutes: 60 minutes for threshold time plus prolonged services of 30 minutes.
