Wiki Tobacco counseling with E/M or preventive exam

[hmagao]

Does anyone know where I can find if a modifier would be needed to add 99406/99407 to an E/M code if the E/M visit was for another problem?
And if it is included in a preventive exam?

Thanks for any information

I would add a 25 modifier to the E/M code.
