Looking for resources for Certified Diabetes Educator coding

Hello,

I work for a multi-specialty pediatric group and our endocrinology group has hired several Certified Diabetes Educators who are also dual certified as Registered Dietitians. I am looking to find some reputable resources for guidance in billing for their services. Not all of our pediatric patients have a diagnosis of diabetes yet, but are starting to show signs and often also are overweight so our CDE/RD are doing nutritional counseling and I guess you could call it preventive based education/counseling on the risks of developing diabetes.

Any help would be appreciated!
