      Thank you for your inquiry about CMS138v11- Preventive Care and Screening: Tobacco Use: Screening and Cessation Intervention. The measure includes tobacco use cessation counseling codes that may include referral to tobacco cessation-related services or providers, education about the benefits of stopping tobacco use, education about the negative side effects of using tobacco, and monitoring for tobacco cessation; as long as any of these interventions were provided/documented using any codes from the value set "Tobacco Use Cessation Counseling" (2.16.840.1.113883.3.526.3.509), the measure requirements can be met. This includes SNOMED code '225323000' (Smoking cessation education (procedure)). You can use the code directly.
