You can if patient presents with another problem and you address it. Be sure to put a 25 modifier on the 99212.

The "exam" we presume to mean a "yearly physical exam" or preventative care visit. So if I see a patient for a physical and "by the way" he asks about sexual dysfunction (always as I am walking out the door, hand on door handle) and I ask more questions and order tests and/or prescribe meds then I bill the physical and a 99213-25 and be sure my A/P section has an area to talk about the PE- weight loss, exercise, seat belts, etc and an area to address the sex issue , outlining impression and plans.

Could we only use 99047 in a session with family member present? At this time they are billing as a 90899 and insurance will not pay that. What if the client's teacher was present?
re: 99212 With 99396
I have no idea what "session" you are referring to
