Smoking

Does anyone bill for smoking cessation counseling I believe the code is 99406 is this incidental to the office visit or covered seperate? We are a PCP office and do alot of this kind of stuff. Any help is appreciated.

Bill it

It is not incidental; just be sure documentation is present that patient was counseled and not just asked if they smoked. You don't need a lot of details, Medicare pays, other insurers vary.
