Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, Medicare allows for the billing of an AWV (G0438/G0439) and the initiation of APCM on the same day, provided all documentation requirements for both services are met independently.
The AWV serves as the initiating visit where the provider identifies eligible chronic conditions and obtains the necessary patient consent for ongoing APCM services.
The primary risk is a lack of documentation showing that the APCM care plan was actually derived from the findings of the AWV or that patient consent was not clearly recorded.
AI automates the outreach to ensure patients are scheduled exactly when eligible, collects HRA data to ensure no required fields are missed, and maintains the audit trail of patient communication.
