AWV Coding. The two CPT codes used to report AWV services are: G0438 initial visit. G0439 subsequent visit.
G0439 Annual Wellness Visit, Subsequent (AWV) Annual Wellness Visits can be for either new or established patients as the code does not differentiate. The initial AWV, G0438, is performed on patients that have been enrolled with Medicare for more than one year.

Register. The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a yearly appointment with your primary care provider (PCP) to create or update a personalized prevention plan. This plan may help prevent illness based on your current health and risk factors.
It involves a physical exam by a doctor and includes bloodwork and other tests. The annual wellness visit will just include checking routine measurements such as height, weight, and blood pressure.
Medicare does discourage this and says there is too much 'crossover' between these two preventive services. We usually see a 99213 or 99214 with a G0438 or G0439 to represent the problem management outside the AWV. If you bill G0438/G0439 and a 99397, recognize that Medicare does not cover the 99397.
Physical Exam CPT Codes For New Patients CPT 99381: New patient annual preventive exam (younger than 1 year). CPT 99382: New patient annual preventive exam (1-4 years). CPT 99383: New patient annual preventive exam (5-11 years). CPT 99384: New patient annual preventive exam (12-17 years).
121, Z00. 129, Z00. 00, Z00. 01 “Prophylactic” diagnosis codes are considered Preventive.
A full physical 99397 or 99387 is NOT covered by Medicare and patients are responsible for the cost and can be billed. Some secondary insurance companies may cover the full physical exam, which helps beneficiaries.
