Annual Wellness Visit - Coverage & Billing

This is a recording of the webinar held on 12/2/2025. Each year, Medicare beneficiaries are eligible to receive an annual wellness visit without copays, deductible or coinsurance (if the provider accepts assignment). While this service tends to be underutilized, we are seeing an increase in denials due to incorrect billing. Join us to learn more about coverage and billing so you can avoid those frequency rejections.
