Can you have your awv bloodwork done before the awv visit?

re: Can you have your bloodwork done before the awv visit

The Annual Wellness Visit benefit is intended for risk factor identification and preventive services planning. It is not intended to cover evaluation of symptoms or medical problems a patient may have, and it is not intended for treatment of any disease a patient may have. Examples of things not covered in the Annual Wellness Visit are:

Refills of chronic medications or prescription of new medications are not included
Evaluation of status of chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, arthritis, urinary symptoms are not included
The actual performance of a preventive service, such as performing a Pap smear or prostate exam. (Medicare may cover these services, but they are not covered under the Annual Wellness Benefit, and are supposed to be billed separately.)
An actual physical exam (such as looking at the skin, listening to the heart and lungs, examining the abdomen) are not included
Blood tests to follow any condition the patient is known to have, or blood tests to diagnose any condition except for the few specific screening tests Medicare covers. For example, Medicare covers a screening PSA (prostate cancer blood test) every year for men, but this has traditionally been subject to payment of co-insurance and deductibles, and is not currently defined as part of the Annual Wellness Benefit. Patients with prostate cancer who need PSA tests done more often than once a year still have Medicare coverage for these tests, but the payment is not covered under the Annual Wellness Benefit.
