Hi all! Does anyone know if CPT 99407-Smoking and tobacco use cessation counseling visit can be billed by a Psychologist? The code psychologists used to report was S9075, but it has now expired and according to Optum encoder, the crosswalk is now 99407. Unfortunately, 99407 falls under the E&M section and psychologists can't report E&M's. Is there an alternative code, or is it okay to report 99407 since S9075 is crosswalking to that code?

S9075 Smoking cessation treatment
99407 Smoking and tobacco use cessation counseling visit; intensive, greater than 10 minutes
