2025 Coding Preventive Services for Commercial and Medicare Plans

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

The focus for preventive medicine services is to promote and maintain the well-being and health of patients to reduce risk of disease and disability. But preventive care also allows an opportunity for proper reporting of chronic disease burden in your practice population, allowing payers to more adequately estimate future resource use and cost of care for your patients. This can figure heavily in shared savings contracts and MIPS fee schedule adjustment calculations.

Karen will review

• What are considered preventive services for Medicare vs commercial plans and the proper codes to report
• Guidelines for documentation to successfully code/report all required parts of the IPPE/AWV
• Who may perform various parts of the AWV

Special topics:

• Services that are bundled in the preventive codes
• Addressing preventive services and an acute problem discovered on the same day
• Immunizations, Injections, and Lab documenting and coding for medical necessity

Date:              Friday Nov 14, 2025

Time:            9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.   

                   Location: online only.
                  Link will be emailed to registrants one day prior
