Annual Preventive and Wellness Visit Service

Preventive Service Codes


The annual preventive exam is a periodic, comprehensive preventive medicine evaluation (or reevaluation) and management of the patient.

The CPT Code selection is based on whether the patient is receiving an initial visit -"New Patient" or a periodic - "Established Patient" preventive service, as well as the patient’s age.
  • Initial Visits - 99381, 99382, 99383, 99384, 99385, 99386, 99387
  • Subsequent Visits - 99391, 99392, 99393, 99394, 99395, 99396, 99397
The Medicare insurance would be covered by "G" codes instead of the above codes. The details below,
  • Welcome to Medicare - G0402 (Within the one year from the patient enrolled in Medicare)
  • Initial Annual Wellness Visit - G0438 (After the 1st year of enrollment)
  • Subsequent Annual Wellness Visit - G0439

Initial Visits


Initial comprehensive preventive medicine evaluation and management of an individual including an" age and gender appropriate history, examination, counseling/anticipatory guidance/risk factor reduction interventions, and the ordering of laboratory/diagnostic procedures", New patient,
  • 99381 - Infant (age younger than 1 year)
  • 99382 - Early childhood (age 1 through 4 years)

  • 99396 - 40-64 years
  • 99397 - 65 years and older

Included Services


Checking the status of "chronic conditions" and "refilling ongoing prescriptions" is expected during an annual preventive exam and does not warrant the billing of a separate problem-oriented E/M service.

If a chronic condition is not being well controlled, however, and decisions are being made as to how to treat the patient to improve control (changing the dosage of medications, changing to a new medication, etc.), this may substantiate a separate problem-oriented E/M service.
