On-Demand Webinar Release: Preventing Errors When Assigning AWV and Annual Physical Codes

Preventive visits, Annual physicals, Annual wellness visits, AWVs are all the same thing right? Not so fast. These terms are often used interchangeably when they should not be. A preventive medicine visit and an AWV are very different things. In this webinar we explore the differences in these preventive services, review the requirements for each and review documentation examples to get you on your way to understanding which code should be used.

Objectives:

• Define an annual physical and preventive medicine visit
• Define an IPPE and AWV service
• Identify the differences between each types of preventive service
• Recognize which code should be applied based on service provided and documented
