This is what we received from Palmetto.
Thank you for your e-mail received on May 20, 2021. You wrote to us wanting to know
if an AWV performed by a registered nurse or a medical professional have to be co-signed by the supervising physician. The signature requirements for an AWV are no different than any other service. When the person performing the service (and eligible to perform the service) is not eligible to bill for the service, the service is billed under the supervising provider’s NPI. It is considered an incident to service. Our website outlines signature requirements for incident to services. Palmetto GBA would encourage the person rendering any part of the AWV to document and sign their documentation but
ultimately the billing provider (supervising the AWV) must authenticate all the information in the record by signing the record.
