64505 or 64999? Just joined a new practice, I always did 64505 at my old practice but at new practice head of billing says 64999 which I know never gets paid. Thoughts?

64999 is correct, unfortunately.

Bill for office visit and time or have patient's watch Lobel's video and do it at home. (Good luck with that one; not everyone is as crazy as Lobel)

If we use the sphenocath device can 64505 be billed?
