Medicare Wellness Visits

Our doctor billed G0438, 81003-QW and 93000 to Medicare. Medicare paid on the G0438 but denied 81003-QW and 93000 as non covered services because this is a routine screening procedure done in conjuction with a routine exam. Is this right? Are these codes included in the wellness exam?

re: Medicare Wellness Visits

There is no coverage for a urinalysis as a routine. It was long ago shown to be a worthless screening test in a healthy person. Medicare covers USPSTF rated A and B services. Link to HTN or DM if the patient has either of those.
