Hello - we are currently working with our compliance and billing teams to determine how we could bill for tobacco cessation services. Our facility does not allow 'incident to' billing for cessation services provided by our CTTS. Has anyone found other workarounds in this situation?
Below is the most recent message given to us:
"I am not seeing this (tobacco cessation services) as billable in the hospitals provider based clinics as a standalone service.
Medicare will only allow billing by qualified health professionals and they currently do not recognize TTS or CTTS in that category.
Incident To billing is expressly forbidden under the outpatient prospective payment system."
Thank you for any assistance provided.
