We see Peds Pts, and all the time we are counseling parents to stop smoking. Is there any code to bill for this. The child is the patient. Thank You
 
Parents just shouldn't smoke around their kids, not to offend anyone's preference :O)
I used to and one of my kids got sick with pneumonia. If it was the smoke or the open window while driving I'll never know. All I know, it was enough for me to quit. 11 years smoke freeeee.
Anyhow, no, there is no code for counseling the parent on smoking cessation on their child's visit.
