Getting a bit confused on what is included in a well child visit and was it not, our peds providers have template with specific well child assessments. They mentioned they should be coding and billing separate codes aside from preventive visit. Is this sufficient to bill nutrition and physical activity counseling codes? or would this just be part of the preventive visit?
