Claims are being denied as not being medically necessary. Can any one confirm that when performing ACP with AWV that one of the diagnosis submitted with the Z00.00 should be supporting that the patient has a end-stage chronic illness such as heart failure, or COPD, or AID, etc. If claim is submitted with cpt G0438 and 99497 and diagnosis Z00.00 for example, is that sufficient? In reading thru the guidelines of ACP i'm interpreting that there has to be an additional more identifiable life threatening condition the patient has in order to support the medical necessity of the ACP and AWV.
Thank you. Any and all inoput is appreciated
