Providing Preventive Care for Medicare Beneficiaries-Section 1-Staff

IPPE & AWV         

              Presented by: Karen Scott, MEd, RHIA, CCS-P, CPC, FAHIMA

As healthcare spending steadily increases, the effort to control cost is shifting the practice of medicine from treatment of illness toward preventive care to promote wellness.

Medicare introduced the IPPE (Welcome to Medicare) and AWV (Annual Wellness Visit) to support wellness efforts with improved reimbursement and to take the lead in the movement toward reimbursement for managing the total care of a patient rather than just payment for services. 

Karen will address:

• Who is eligible to provide the services?
• When do you do the IPPE, the Initial AWV, and the Subsequent AWV?
• What services are provided in the IPPE and AWV and how are they different?
• What other preventive services may be included and billed for in the scope of these visits?
• How do you properly document and bill for the services?
• How do you bill an AWV and a problem (E&M) visit in the same visit?
