I am extremely good at coding for this and I have much knowledge in what should be notated in order for this to be billed (99406 & 99407). I know that time MUST be notated, however I have a provider who suddenly started notating "spent 3-10 minutes performing smoking cessation counseling". Is this acceptable? I have never encountered this as my providers have always been specific with time. I think I know that the answer is "no" but I just want confirmation as I could be wrong. As with all counseling codes, I never go by a range of time spent, but an accurate amount of time spent and I feel this should be the case in ANY kind of counseling, including smoking cessation. Any thoughts on this?
