No specific diagnosis is required for the Annual Wellness Visit, but Z00. 00 or Z00. 01 is appropriate for the Annual Routine Physical Exam. A Depression Screening (G0444) is a required component within the initial Annual Wellness Visit (G0438) and should not be billed separately.
The two CPT codes used to report AWV services are:G0438 initial visit.G0439 subsequent visit.

z00. 00 is the diagnosis code for a well/preventive encounter. You may have chronic conditions addressed also and the may be listed on the claim, however when you are linking the diagnosis to the procedure/visit codes like the Z00.
