preventative medicine counseling code 99401, is this an add on code with a V code diagnosis. please give examples.
Thank you.
 
This is a "Separate Procedure" as defined by the CPT manual, not an add-on CPT code. It should not be performed on the same day as another E&M service. Bill when the service focuses on the risk factors and counseling performed to reduce those risks, it should be the only service performed that day.

A modifier is not allowed to override an NCCI edit.
