Preventive care helps detect or prevent serious diseases and medical problems before they can become major. Annual check-ups, immunizations, and flu shots, as well as certain tests and screenings, are a few examples of preventive care. This may also be called routine care.
Essentially, the goal of preventive care is to detect health problems before symptoms develop, while diagnostic care is given to diagnose or treat symptoms you already have. Preventive care is frequently received during a routine physical. Diagnostic care may result if a preventive screening detects abnormal results.

Screening is the testing for disease or disease precursors in seemingly well individuals so that early detection and treatment can be provided for those who test positive for the disease (e.g., screening mammogram).
Grade D – The USPSTF recommends against the service. There is moderate or high certainty the service has no net benefit or the harm outweighs the benefits. Grade I – The USPSTF concludes the current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of the service.
If the answer is “yes,” the service is diagnostic, not screening, and the diagnosis code for the sign or symptom is listed on the claim for that encounter. If the answer is “no,” the service is preventive screening and should be coded, as such. Preventive screenings apply to patients who have no signs or symptoms of the specific disease.
Preventative medicine codes are meant only for the reporting of asymptomatic patients. In order to assign a preventative code, a comprehensive evaluation must be documented. The scope of a preventative visit depends both on the patient’s age and screening test (s) fitting the age of the patient.
In CPT, codes 99381–99397 for comprehensive preventive evaluations are age-specific, beginning with infancy and ranging through patients age 65 and over for both new and established office patients. Preventive medicine services are represented in evaluation and management (E/M) codes section of CPT. These E/M codes may be reported by any qualified physician or other qualified healthcare professional, i.e. NP, APP or PA.
Preventive visits, like many procedural services, are bundled services. Unlike documenting problem-oriented E/M office visits (99201–99215), which involves complicated coding guidelines, documenting preventive visits is more straightforward. The following components are needed: 1 A comprehensive history and physical exam findings; 2 A description of the status of chronic, stable problems that are not “significant enough to require additional work,” according to CPT; 3 Notes concerning the management of minor problems that do not require additional work; 4 Notes concerning age-appropriate counseling, screening labs, and tests; 5 Orders for vaccines appropriate for age and risk factors.
The preventive comprehensive exam differs from a problem-oriented comprehensive exam because its components are based on age and risk factors rather than a presenting problem. Coverage of preventive visits varies by insurer, so it is important to be aware of the patient’s health plan.
Initial visit to develop or update a personalized prevention plan, and perform a health risk assessment (G0438 once per lifetime) Exam performed without relationship to treatment or diagnosis, for a specific illness, symptom, complaint or injury. Covered only once (per lifetime) within 12 months of Part-B enrollment.
Some sources state that you may bill a preventative medicine visit with a chronic condition such as hypertension or diabetes. If a physician is only managing a patient’s medication, there are no changes or concerns, and the patient then it would be appropriate to bill for preventative medicine.
Medicare does not cover the CPT codes 99381-99397 (preventative medicine services). When billing a preventative medicine visit for a Medicare patient, a waiver of liability is NOT required. This is based on the Social Security Act, Section 1862 (a) (7), Statutory Exclusion.
