About 96167: Family health behavior intervention with patient
Report this service for a timed health behavior intervention focused on the patient’s health needs and delivered with the patient and family together.
A clinician works with the patient and one or more family members to address health-related behaviors, coping, adherence, or self-management. The discussion and intervention focus on the patient’s medical condition or health goals, rather than providing family psychotherapy. Physicians and other qualified health care professionals may provide this service in office or facility settings when the patient participates with family members.
Use 96167 for the initial 30 minutes of the family intervention with the patient present. Select it based on the service delivered and documented time, not simply because a family member attended another visit. The record should identify the patient-focused behavioral goal, participating family members, the intervention provided, the patient’s participation, and time spent. For qualifying additional intervention time, report 96168. CMS payment facts list no code-specific payment rules for this service.
