Medical code 99497 refers to a specific billing code used by healthcare providers to indicate the service of advance care planning (ACP). This code is used when a provider discusses advance directives and end-of-life care options with a patient, typically requiring at least 16 minutes of face-to-face time. It emphasizes the importance of patient autonomy and informed decision-making regarding future medical care.
