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.

    We are billing and getting paid for G0439 and G0444, we made sure to use Z13.89 on the G0444 even if they have a history of depression.

    You do need to add modifier 59 to the G0444 when billing on same date of service.

    Yes because it's one of the requirements of the AWV is how I see it
