The American Academy of Pediatrics released a tobacco coding fact sheet to help primary care pediatricians and other healthcare providers be reimbursed for providing smoking cessation services to their patients.Created by AAP’s coding experts, the fact sheet offers multiple CPT codes for inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as non-face-to-face and non-physician provider services. Also covered are ICD-9-CM codes for medical diagnoses, comorbid diseases, substance abuse, and related supplemental codes. At the end of the coding section are six short vignettes that feature different clinical scenarios. Applicable codes and diagnoses for each situation are listed, and teaching points are given where necessary.
