Our clinic has started doing the Medicare AWV's with a phone call from the nurse. The patient doesn't come in and no vitals are taken. They just do the Depression screening and the AWV questionnaire with them. Then a few days later the patient comes in for an E/M to go over their chronic conditions. I know the AWV can be done by the nurse just wondering if it is ok to to it this way. I thought they should at least have a weight and blood pressure. We had been doing them both on the same day.
