EDUCATION ON USE OF METERED DOSE INHALER
But if you provided the inhalation treatment (94640) on the same date using a different type of equipment (e.g., aerosol generator) or if the two services took place at separate patient encounters on the same date, then report the education with code 94664 (“demonstration and/or evaluation of patient utilization of an aerosol generator, nebulizer, metered dose inhaler or IPPB device”). Append a modifier (e.g., 59, “distinct procedure, XE separate encounter”) to code 94664 when separate reporting is indicated.
