What 99412 covers

99412 identifies preventive health counseling provided to a group, with discussion of health risks and ways to reduce them. A physician or other qualified health professional typically leads the session. The group format distinguishes it from individual preventive counseling codes 99401–99404. The approximately 60-minute duration distinguishes 99412 from the shorter group service, 99411.

Medicare assigns status N to 99412, so Medicare does not cover the service under this code. Report it for a group preventive counseling session of approximately 60 minutes; use 99411 for the shorter, approximately 30-minute group service. Documentation should identify the group format, preventive topics, and session duration. Individual preventive counseling is represented by 99401–99404, with selection based on the approximate duration of the one-to-one 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.

99412 billing questions

How does 99412 differ from 99411?

Both describe preventive counseling delivered to a group. 99412 is for an approximately 60-minute session; 99411 is the shorter, approximately 30-minute group service.

When should individual preventive counseling codes be considered instead?

Use the individual preventive counseling series when counseling is delivered one-on-one rather than to a group. Codes 99401–99404 distinguish individual services by approximate session duration.

What session duration distinguishes 99412?

99412 describes approximately 60 minutes of preventive counseling for a group. Document the session duration and preventive focus.

Does Medicare cover 99412?

No. Medicare status N means Medicare does not cover the service under this code.

What documentation supports reporting 99412?

Document that counseling was provided to a group, the preventive topics addressed, and the session duration. The duration should support the approximately 60-minute service rather than the shorter group code.

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.
