IPPE and AWV

Hi Betsy -
143.72 and 159.25 reimbursements respectively.

Do physician offices GET paid when they process correct coding?

Baseline Medical is introducing these 2 programs with physicians as a vehicle for patients that qualify to have the IPPE and AWV to lower any out-of-pocket expenses to be screened as well - for Stroke and Heart disease.

Reimbursements provide office revenue and also help cover my cost.

I was not able to view the 4 minute primer on the website. Is there information I need to know as I feature the IPPE and AWV opportunity of wellness with the senior population with screenings we do?

Questions -
1. Is the IPPE only for those born in 1946 and later?
2. As Boomers reach 65 they have one year to receive benefits - yes?
3. And the AWV applies to those born before 1946 that missed out the IPPE opportunity?
4. Does the AWV cover annual visits thereafter for everyone 65 and older?
5. Do private carriers reimburse for these wellness codes also?

Thanks for your reply Betsy.
