We are having an issue with one of our primary care practices. There is a new provider who is part of an IPA and they state that they bill out to Medicare an Annual Wellness Visit under G0438/G0439 with medical diagnosis codes and then at another time during the year the same patient comes in for their Preventative Annual and they bill 9939- using the Z00.00 and that they get paid for both visits.
I have never heard of this and am not sure if this is something that can be done.
Does anyone have any insight into this type of situation?
Thank you in advance.
