I have recently been asked to review some Medicare Wellness notes and I have seen that G0442 and G0444 have been added (on various occasions) to the encounter.
In examples of the G0442...the only thing I am seeing in the note is social history: drinks occasionally I am not seeing how that is enough to bill for alcohol misuse screening.
In examples of G0444....some of the things that I am seeing are that a PHQ-2 was utilized and score was 0. That tool is provided by the MA and results entered by them for the provider to review. Is that truly enough to bill for a depression screen?
Any insight you could provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks
