The hospital I work in have few outpatient clinics. OBGYN has been coding & billing Annual wellness visits by CPT codes 99385-99395 & for Medicare Patients G codes.
Hospital also has a Primary Care Clinic same group as GYN and the doctor just hired in Primary care clinic would also like to start with Wellness visits as well. Can I code her patients with regular office visit codes 99212-99215 with ICD 10 Z00.00 as the GYN is already billing the 99385 wellness visit codes and the Primary care might get denied as duplicate.
please advise how should I code the annual wellness visits performed in Primary care considering that the GYN uses the 99385-99395 & the G codes already ?
