5As for preventive care??
When it comes to billing medicare for counseling, they want to see documentation supporting the 5As use during that session.
Assess,Advise,Agree,Assist, Arrange.
I've read this documentation is needed to support obesity counseling (g0447), Behavioral counseling for ETOH abuse (g0443), and STD counseling (g0445)
However is it required for Intensive Behavioral Therapy for CV risk reduction G0446 and nicotine cessation counseling (99406/99407)?
