About G0013: HIV PrEP counseling by clinical staff
Reports 15–30 minutes of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis counseling delivered by clinical staff to a patient considering or using PrEP.
G0013 represents 15–30 minutes of counseling about HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) provided by clinical staff. The discussion may take place in primary care, infectious disease, or sexual health settings when a patient is considering or using PrEP. Counseling can address HIV prevention and the role of PrEP in the patient’s care; it is distinct from administering an injectable PrEP drug.
Select this code for the clinical-staff counseling service, rather than the corresponding physician or other qualified health care professional service. Documentation should identify the PrEP counseling performed, who provided it, and the time supporting the 15–30-minute service. CMS assigns work, practice-expense, and malpractice relative value units to the service; the applicable fee-schedule data determine payment. The supplied CMS rules identify no additional payment rule for this code.

What documentation supports reporting G0013?
Record the PrEP-related counseling provided, the clinical staff member, and the time spent. The documentation should make clear that the service was counseling rather than drug administration.
