We have an NP who is providing smoking cessation counseling who routinely spends an hour for the first visit. The reimbursement is quite low using 99407. To paraphrase the NP, she says what she does is no different than a social worker visit or a nutritionists visit and yet they have codes with higher reimbursements.
Is there an alternative CPT code we could use? Is Preventive Medicine, Individual Counseling 99401-99403 a possibility? Something else? If so, anyone know if these get reimbursed?
