And if the confusion surrounding what type of providers wasn’t enough, there is also a LDCT screening coding problem involving ICD-10-CM codes.
The code to use for a SDM visit is G0296 (counseling visit to discuss need for lung cancer screening [LDCT]). This is a 15 minute code with reimbursement of $69.65 in the hospital out- patient setting and $28.64 in a physician’s office. It can be billed on the same day as an E/M visit, provided medical necessity is met.
