Ive had one Medicare visit so far, which I billed with the new Medicare tobacco cessation coverage. Any experience w/ Medicare actually paying these, and how much? Any advice, experience?
The AAFP has not received any feedback from members that they are not being paid. As for the Medicare allowance, 99406 ranges between $12-15, while 99407 ranges between $24-30; the actual allowance will vary by Medicare locality. You can look up the allowance in your specific locality online at http://www.cms.hhs.gov/apps/pfslookup/Step1.
