What G0439 covers

The subsequent annual wellness visit is a Medicare Part B preventive benefit. It updates the health risk assessment, medical and family history, provider and supplier list, and measurements such as weight and blood pressure. It also includes cognitive impairment assessment, an updated written screening schedule and risk-factor list, and personalized health advice with referrals as appropriate. Physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinical nurse specialists commonly furnish it in primary care offices. A team that includes qualified professionals such as health educators or registered dietitians may furnish it under physician direct supervision. It is not a comprehensive physical examination.

Report G0439 after the beneficiary has received an initial AWV (G0438) and 11 full calendar months have passed since the previous AWV. Document the updated assessment and the revised prevention plan provided to the patient. Medicare waives the deductible and coinsurance for the AWV. If the clinician also evaluates a significant, separately identifiable problem, report the appropriate E/M code with modifier 25; normal cost sharing applies to that E/M service.

This summary was written with AI assistance from CMS physician fee schedule data and checked against the CMS billing rules shown here. Rates on this page come directly from CMS files.

G0439 billing questions

How do I choose between G0438 and G0439?

G0438 is the beneficiary's one-time initial AWV. Use G0439 for a later AWV after G0438, once 11 full calendar months have passed since the previous AWV; an IPPE alone does not qualify the beneficiary for G0439.

Can a problem-oriented E/M visit be billed on the same day?

Yes, if a significant, separately identifiable problem is evaluated and documented. Report the E/M code with modifier 25; normal cost sharing applies to that service.

Can advance care planning be billed with the subsequent AWV?

Yes. Advance care planning is optional at the AWV; report 99497 and, when the additional time requirement is met, 99498. Append modifier 33 to the advance care planning code when the same provider furnishes it on the AWV date so its deductible and coinsurance are waived.

Is annual depression screening separately billable with G0439?

G0444 may be reported with G0439 when the separate annual depression screening is performed and documented. CMS does not allow G0444 with the initial AWV, G0438.

Does the subsequent AWV require a physical exam?

No. It requires measurements, a health risk assessment, cognitive impairment assessment, and prevention-plan updates, but not a comprehensive physical examination.

What happens if G0439 is billed too soon?

Medicare may deny it for frequency if 11 full calendar months have not passed since the previous AWV. Check the prior AWV date and confirm that the beneficiary has received G0438.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indexes and the conversion factor. Services without a published rate are labeled, never given a made-up amount. Amounts are Medicare allowed amounts before claim adjustments: not a patient’s bill or a commercial rate.
