Wiki Obesity counseling G0447

[jpowelson]

Does anyone know if there is a code we can use for commercial insurance companies that is similar to the Medicare code:

G0447 - Face to face behavioral counseling for obesity, 15 minutes

Thanks!

G0447

Check the 99401-99404 series to see if this helps. Sometimes when I have seen this code billed the modifier 33 had to be added. Hope that works for you.
