Do patients pay a copay or coinsurance for coaching?

Short answer

The final rule doesn't address cost sharing for these codes, and nothing designates them as preventive services exempt from it. Don't tell patients coaching is free; confirm deductible and coinsurance treatment with your MAC.

The toolkit's consent form includes a cost-sharing notice for this reason.
