Obesity Coding Fact Sheet
The Task Force on Obesity, the Committee on Coding and Nomenclature, and the Private Sector Advocacy Advisory Committee developed an Obesity Coding Fact Sheet to help pediatricians and other health care professionals with coding for obesity-related health care services. The Academy presents strategies and a template letter for pediatric practices to handle carrier denials and contractual issues in a separate document accessible from the AAP Private Sector Advocacy web page on the Academy's Member Center Web site. For questions regarding coding, please contact the AAP Coding Hotline at aapcodinghotline@aap.org. For questions regarding reimbursement and coverage, please contact Lou Terranova at lterranova@aap.org.
