I am looking for guidance on proper billing for Diabetic Education classes which are currently being held at our facility. These classes are spearheaded by our Pharmacy department and have several speakers to include a physician who speaks on the medical ups and downs of the condition, a nutritionist who speaks on proper diet, a wellness coach who speaks on exercise and other ways to stay active and the 2 hour session is ended by the pharmacy who speaks about the different medication and how they effect lifestyle habits and encourages changes. We are currently billing a 99213 (because this class contains our established patients). Is there any other cpt coding choice which we could utilize to better capture this scenario? I do recognize that our Medicare does not cover the G code, therefore would place out to pt resp. The 99213 would, of course, would be responsible for copay & deductibe (if not met).

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
