Per the rules: An annual wellness visit is ok using telehealth. A Welcome to Medicare is not
14. Can I provide the Welcome to Medicare and Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) via telehealth?
The Medicare AWV codes (HCPCS codes G0438 and G0439) are on the list of approved Medicare telemedicine services. CMS states that self-reported vitals may be used when a beneficiary is at home and has access to the types of equipment they would need to self-report vitals. The visit must also meet all other requirements.
The Welcome to Medicare visit (code G0402, “Initial preventive physical examination; face-to-face visit, services limited to new beneficiary during the first 12 months of Medicare enrollment”) is not on the list of approved Medicare telemedicine services.
