Dietitian Services
We are a neurology group that is considering bringing in a Dietitian in for our seizure patients for Ketogenic Training. Our question would be is that since the dietitian cant bill a stand alone code-- do they have to be contract labor or is there a CPT® code plus a prolonged service code that we could use for their services. Do we bill our service plus their time--- or do we just need to bill for our visit?

Your answer probably varies by payer - here is one reference, I am sure you can find others: http://www.anthem.com/medicalpolicies/guidelines/gl_pw_a053724.htm
