The AMA requests that the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set be added to the standards listed in Section I: Representing Patient Tobacco Use (Smoking Status). CPT codes 99406 and 99407 identify the patient as a tobacco user and that cessation counseling was provided. In addition, CPT Category II codes identify assessment of tobacco use (1000F), current tobacco user with asthma (1032F), current tobacco user with heart disease (1034F), tobacco use cessation counseling (4000F), tobacco use cessation pharmacologic therapy (4001F), and patient screened as a tobacco user and received cessation intervention (4004F). CPT is a comprehensive and regularly curated uniform language that accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and provides for reliable communication among users. It has an extremely robust and mature development process with open and transparent meetings and clinical input from national medical specialties and relevant stakeholders. It is the most widely adopted outpatient procedure code set. Use of the CPT code set is federally required under HIPAA.
