5.22.2018 CM 01A Does tobacco use count as a behavioral health condition?

No. Tobacco use is an unhealthy behavior and is not considered a behavioral health condition. Practices need to identify behavioral health-related criteria pertinent to their specific patient population, which could include other (non-tobacco-related) substance use treatment, a behavioral health diagnosis, a positive screening result from a standardized behavioral health screener or psychiatric hospitalizations.
