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.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

99407 billing questions

When should 99407 be selected instead of 99406?

Use 99407 when tobacco-cessation counseling exceeds 10 minutes. Use 99406 for the shorter 3-to-10-minute counseling interval.

What documentation supports 99407?

Record the patient's tobacco-use concern, the cessation counseling provided, and the time spent on that counseling. The note should show active cessation work, such as assessing readiness or developing a quit plan.

Is this code for tobacco screening alone?

No. It represents counseling to help a patient stop tobacco use, not simply asking about or documenting tobacco use.

Does 99407 include cessation medication or products?

The code describes the counseling service. It does not describe a medication or cessation product.

Is the time based on the length of the whole visit?

Select the code based on time devoted to tobacco-cessation counseling, rather than unrelated work during the encounter. Document the counseling time.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
