Nurse Practitioner for diabetic education

Loisrn3

Thinking of hiring an NP for our diabetic ed department.  She will be an employee of the hospital. What codes would anyone suggest for her/him to use?

Adding to the above question.  This nurse practitioner would be employed by our hospital. She would be consulted to see IP regarding their diabetes.  She would bill an E&M and would bill on a professional form.  She would be credentialed.  There may be a time where she would see an OP as well.  What codes would you suggest for an NP?

for clarity, are you talking about the diabetes self-management training program available for Medicare? Or is this a NP who would be asked to see a patient by the hospitalist to "Consult" on their diabetes?

This would be a NP asked to see a patient by another physician to consult on their diabetes.
