Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know if it's possible to bill for Tobacco & Smoking Cessation following an angiogram procedure and/or other intervention procedures?

Examples from the physician note:
We will evaluate the patient as an outpatient to determine theratment and options. The patient was conuseled about smoking cessation and hypertension control as well as signs and symptoms of subarachnoid hemorrhage. The patient was counseled for 20 minutes.

Thank you.
