The following crosswalk between ICD-10-PCS to ICD-9-PCS is based based on the General Equivalence Mappings (GEMS) information:
The ICD-10 Procedure Coding System (ICD-10-PCS) is a catalog of procedural codes used by medical professionals for hospital inpatient healthcare settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
The CPT codes for billing for smoking cessation include: 99406 – Smoking and tobacco use cessation counseling visit; intermediate, greater than three minutes, up to 10 minutes. 99407 – Smoking and tobacco use cessation counseling visit; intensive, greater than 10 minutes.
The 2019 CMS guidelines state that Medicare covers two cessation attempts per 12-month period. Each attempt includes a maximum of up to four intermediate (99406) or intensive (99407) counseling sessions, with a total Medicare benefit of eight sessions per year. This is not per physician, or per attempt, but per patient.
An entry in the patient’s health record simply stating that the doctor spent 11 minutes counseling the patient on tobacco use will not cut it, and will not meet the standard for medical necessity. Time needs to be documented, as this is a time-based code.
The documentation in the medical record must support the billing of the cessation code. The documentation needs to record what was discussed during counseling and should show a significant and separately identifiable service.

A modifier -25 may be appropriate to append to the primary evaluation and management (E&M) visit code if such a service is performed at the same encounter.
Note: Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y99 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
I spoke to Medicare on this and you need an add'l dx code. Primary code must be ones of these and then a secondary code.
