Four things to know:
1. The AMA approved various Category III Current Procedural Terminology health and well-being coaching codes, which take effect Jan. 1.
2. After the board and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs applied to create the new tracking codes, the AMA’s CPT Editorial Panel approved new codes, including:
- 0591T Health and Well-Being Coaching face-to-face; individual, initial assessment
- 0592T individual, follow-up session, at least 30 minutes
- 0593T group (two or more individuals), at least 30 minutes
4. Payers have the option of reimbursement for Category III codes beginning Jan. 1, but the widespread data that is collected by the board and the VA could support Category I approval, the board said, noting that payers typically begin reimbursement at the Category I level.
