Q: I have a radiologist who specializes in mammography and she is the director of breast imaging at a free standing facility in New Jersey. The company would like to offer genetic counseling when necessary. Licensure has been approved, but we don't have a license in place at the moment. Genetic counselors get NPI numbers. Is it possible to bill the service as an E/M under the radiologist, if she is present and has an order from the gynecologist for genetic counseling? Or does the genetic counselor bill 96040 under her name and NPI?
