Hi! I work for an OBGYN office and have noticed that our doctors are using the Tobacco Cessation Counseling codes 99406. Does anyone out there know what the difference is between 99406 and G0436? 99406 states: smoking and tobacco - use cessation counseling visit; intermediate, greater than 3 minutes up to 10 minutes. G0436 states: smoking and tobacco cessation counseling visit for the asymptomatic patient; intermediate, greater than 3 minutes, up to 10 minutes. Is the G codes used just for medicare patients. Any response will be greatly appreciated.
