This article will focus on a subsection of preventive medicine coding: coding for preventive counseling visits. CPT coding reflects the importance of preventive medicine as there is an entire listing of preventive codes within the E/M section of the CPT manual. Preventive medicine, which is aimed at protecting, promoting and maintaining health, is also a medical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. We’ve all heard the adage, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.” It seems that medicine has heeded this warning.
