I recently read that you are allowed to bill G0444 Depression Screening during a subsequent (G0439) Medicare Wellness Visit. Does anyone know if the PHQ-9 screener qualifies for billing? Also, if our provider reviews and discusses POLST and Advance Care Planning during the same visit, do you see any problems with billing all three at the same visit? G0439, G0444, 99497 (Does G0444 require the same -33 modifier as the advance care planning so the copay and deductible are waived?)

Thanks, in advance!! I appreciate any input!
