Wiki Billing CPT Code 99406 with an E/M

[medicode3]

Good Morning fellow coders, I would like to know your thoughts on billing 99406 (Smoking Cessation counseling 3-10 Min) when billing as an example the following codes today

99214-25
99406
90715 (TDaP admin)
90471 (Imunization Admin)

CPT code denies out as bundled like is but if I add a mod 25 to 99406 Code correct allows it to go through. Being that 99406 is in the E/M section I am thinking it's ok to bill this way. Any advice?

You are correct it is 99214-25
99406
90715
90471
Make sure it is clearly documented that smoking cessation was talked about.

99406 and 99214 with modifer

the 25 modifier has to be put on the E/M code not the 99406 code.

Can 99406 uses with 99203? It says only for Established patients.
