Well Woman and mod 25?

Since mod 25 is considered an E&M modifier, I didn't think it could be applied to a Well Woman visit. I have seen it appended on the WW though. Am I wrong? Are there exceptions, or am I misunderstanding something?
 
Mod 25 can be appended to preventive codes (99381-99397) if a separate and distinct procedure(s) (example: vaccination) is provided at the same visit but if there is an E/M provided at the same visit, you would append mod 25 to the E/M code.
