Depression screening bundled into subsequent AWV
I know G0444 is bundled with G0402 and G0438. However, my question is can G0444 (depression screening) and G0439 (subsequent AWV) be reported together on the same DOS? There are no NCCI edits suggesting they are bundled, however, when we speak to a representative about the denial they are saying these codes are bundled.
