Please excuse my ignorance here, but I need clarification here please.....

In regards to smoking cessation, CMS states the counseling is covered when performed by a qualified physician or other Medicare-recognized practitioner.

My question is...what is the definition of a Medicare-recognized practitioner? I am assuming here it would be a MD, NP, or PA. Would a health coach or RN fall into that category? Thanks.
