Maximize Reimbursement While Supporting Patient Health: Tobacco Cessation Billing Services for Physicians and Hospitals

Tobacco use remains one of the leading causes of preventable disease and death in the United States. As healthcare providers work to support patients in quitting tobacco, accurate and optimized billing for cessation services is essential — not only for patient outcomes but for ensuring your practice or hospital receives the reimbursement it deserves.

At Kayal Health, we specialize in tobacco cessation billing as part of our comprehensive medical billing solutions. Whether you’re a private practice or a large hospital network, our experienced team ensures every encounter, from brief counseling to intensive behavioral therapy, is billed accurately and compliantly.

Why Focus on Tobacco Cessation Billing?

  • Revenue Opportunities:

    CPT codes like 99406 (3–10 minutes) and 99407 (more than 10 minutes) are often underutilized. When documented and billed correctly, they offer significant reimbursement.

  • Medicare & Medicaid Coverage:

    CMS covers up to 8 sessions per year for tobacco cessation, and many commercial payers follow suit — but only if billed appropriately.

  • Quality Care Metrics:

    Accurate billing supports reporting for programs like MIPS, HEDIS, and other quality initiatives where tobacco cessation is a core measure.

  • Compliance:

    Avoid denials and audits by ensuring documentation matches the level of service billed, especially when billing as a preventive service.

What We Do:

✅ Code Optimization – We help identify all billable opportunities for tobacco cessation during patient visits.

✅ Documentation Review – We ensure providers capture the correct elements: time spent, counseling content, and patient readiness.

✅ Claims Accuracy – We reduce denials through clean claim submission and payer-specific billing rules.
