There are three types of wellness visits: Initial Preventive Physical Examination (IPPE), an Initial Annual Wellness Visit, and the Subsequent Annual Wellness Visit. Each entails a different billing code as well as specific qualifiers for each program.
- Initial Preventive Physical Examination (G0402): Patients may only receive this benefit within the rest 12 months of their Medicare enrollment. Commonly referred to as the “welcome to Medicare visit,” it is considered a once in a lifetime assessment and after the initial eligibility period, the patient cannot receive an Initial Preventive Physical Examination. It is also dependent on the health risk assessment.
- Initial Annual Wellness Visits (G0438): Similar to an Initial Preventive Physical Examination, except it is available to a patient after 11 months of Medicare enrollment. This is for patients that miss their window for an Initial Preventive Physical Examination. However, if the patient does complete an Initial Preventive Physical Examination, they must still complete the Initial Annual Wellness Visit. This screening also includes an optional cognitive exam and end-of-life planning.
- Subsequent Annual Wellness Visit (G0439): Is the yearly follow-up to an Initial Annual Wellness Visit. Eleven full months after the Initial Annual Wellness Visit, a patient can attend these visits to modify and maintain their preventive care plan, based on how their health is at any given time.
