Are you practicing in a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC)? Is billing confusing and out of control? With the help of our reimbursement expert, AADE put together a list of Frequently Asked Questions that may answer some of your questions around providing DSMES services. For example:
Question: If a diabetes self-management training (DSMT) or medical nutrition therapy (MNT) visit occurs on the same day as a mental health visit, can two visits be billed?
Answer: Yes, because DSMT/MNT is considered a medical visit and a FQHC can bill for two visits when a medical and mental health visit occur on the same day.
