What 99387 covers
99387 is a comprehensive preventive medicine evaluation for a new patient age 65 or older. A physician or other qualified health professional takes an age- and sex-appropriate history, performs an examination, and provides preventive counseling and risk-reduction planning. The visit addresses preventive care rather than evaluation of a specific complaint. Under CPT’s new-patient definition, the patient has not received a professional service from the same specialty or subspecialty in the same group within the prior three years.
Medicare assigns 99387 status N, so Medicare does not cover this service. It is a preventive medicine visit, not the Medicare annual wellness visit; initial and subsequent annual wellness visits are reported with G0438 and G0439, respectively.
