CPT® codes for genetic counseling sessions
Can anyone tell me what they think is the appropriate code(s) for the following situation?
Pt is seen in the office for genetic counseling by a genetic educator (not licensed counselor) and buccal specimen is collected via "swish, spit and run" collection. ? 9940X or 9921X ?
Pt returns 3 weeks later to receive results and discuss options. ? 9940X or 9921x?
I cannot differentiate between the two codes.
Can a provider charge more than one 9940xs within the same year?
Thank you for your asssistance.
