I would like to know more about coding a medicare annual & subsequent visit comparing to a regular physical which we all know medicare doesn't cover. They cover 1 welcome to medicare physical & then starts with the annual or subsequent visits. Thanks, Joann

Jo-Anne Sheehan, CPC, CPC-I, the three codes for Medicare Physicals in the June 2015 Q&A Webinar. The codes are G0402, G0438, and G0439. JoAnne explained the rules for using each code and what the Welcome to Medicare visit, and the Annual Wellness Visit (initial and subsequent) encompass.

If you missed the webinar, it is a great idea to sign up for the CCO Club. That way you will get access to the recording of the webinar, conveniently divided into video clips by topic. You also get the transcript, answer sheets, and a chance to earn 1.5 CEUs for the webinar by passing a 15 question quiz. Not only that, but you can access all the available resources for past webinars, too!
