Extended Preventive Counseling Visit

South Carolina rates for HCPCS 99403

A clinician spends a substantial one-on-one session, roughly 45 minutes, counseling a patient on ways to reduce personal health risks, for example around diet, exercise, or other lifestyle factors, separate from a routine checkup. It is handled as its own visit rather than folded into another type of appointment. This length of session allows more in-depth discussion than a brief counseling conversation.
