Help!
I am looking for Medicare guidelines for the possibility of providing Annual Wellness Visits (G0438 / G0439) to patients who are residing in a SNF (POS 31) or Nursing Facility (POS 32)
Can the wellness service be provided in these facilities with successful reimbursement for mid-level providers?
If I recall, the POS 31 and 32 do not reimburse theses services however now I cannot locate any specific guideline from Medicare or CWF to back up my information to the inquiring parties.
I am spinning my wheels trying to locate any guidelines or formal notice in MLN related to these services and POS.
I am in Northern California and have looked in MLN, CWF, CMS, and Noridian Jurisdiction E Part B.
Thank you in advance for any information anyone can provide for me!
