Coding and Documentation

Can you tell the difference between an annual physical exam and an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV)?

There are more differences than you might think.

Sutures are a common element of the wound closure performed immediately after a surgical procedure, and occasionally may be reimbursed separately.

Keep these tips in mind when documenting and billing for venipuncture.

To payers, these visits tell a completely different story about the work that’s required to treat a patient.
