Am I eligible to bill for the Community Patient Conferencing Fee (G14016) in addition to receiving the Complex Care Management payment(s)?
Yes. If the physician needs to conference with allied health professions about the care plan and any changes, then the services provided in conferencing with other health care professionals is payable over and above the Complex Care Management Payments, provided that the all criteria for the Conferencing fee are met. The time spent on the phone or e-mail with the patient for the non-face-to-face complex care management does not count toward the total time billed under the community patient conferencing fee.
