This is the Welcome to Medicare Visit - I do not believe there are any age restrictions as long as this visit occurs during the patient's first year of Medicare eligibilty.

I am not aware of an age limit however, the G0438 Annual Wellness visit is 12 months after the G0402 Welcome to MCR or after the 1st year of MCR eligibility if the G0402 was not used.

I guess I shouldn't try to answer questions off the top of my head. I got mixed up and was thinking of the Welcome to Medicare visit instead of the Initial Annual Wellness Visit.
