Any takers on this. I seems to me that it would not qualify as they are in the facility. I can not find anywhere that states nursing homes visits are excluded.

Is the patient on a MED A stay at a skilled level of care? I would see if you could determine that. My concern would be that they would not cover an annual wellness exam if the patient had just discharged from the hospital into a skilled period of coverage. If they are inpatient or outpatient on a part B stay then it might be covered.
