Wiki Welcome to Medicare Exam

[dballard2004]

If I understand correctly, the Medicare guidelines do not have a specific ICD-9 code requirement for the Welcome to Medicare exam. I'm curious what others are using for the dx code and is it getting paid? Are you using V70.0?

 

[RebeccaWoodward*]

You're correct. Typically we use V70.0 for the G04** series.

We also typically use V70.0
