Medicare allowed amount for participating (non-QP) physicians, before deductible, coinsurance and claim adjustments. Not a patient’s bill or a hospital charge.

What 99407 covers

A physician or other qualified health professional uses this service for focused, individual counseling with a patient who uses tobacco. The discussion may assess readiness to quit, advise cessation, address barriers or triggers, and develop a quit plan. It is distinct from simply recording tobacco use or screening for tobacco exposure; the encounter must include active cessation counseling. Counseling may occur in an office or facility setting.

Select 99407 when the time spent on the tobacco-cessation counseling exceeds 10 minutes. The shorter counseling level, 99406, is for a different time threshold. Document the tobacco-use concern, the counseling and cessation strategies discussed, and the time devoted to that work. Report the service for the counseling visit, not for the number of tobacco products or cessation strategies discussed. CMS assigns work and practice-expense values to this service.
