Good afternoon, we have just found out that even though the annual wellness codes, G0438 and G0439 are in the mapping in CQR for certain measures, CQR doesn't recognize them!! You have to have a SNOmed code. Just wondering if we are the only ones that didn't know this or are there others that weren't aware of this?

I just opened a ticket with our VAR for this! Were you able to get your cpt codes mapped to the SNOMED? That is what I am trying to do.....
Thanks!

Sonya, we did finally get this worked out. We were told that the G codes had to have a SNOMED code with it so we have our billing form programmed to also put in the SNOMED 308335008 - Patient encounter (procedure) as well as the G code for billing. Once GE knew we had changed our process for current data, they got on and ran a script that went in and added the SNOMED code for the annual wellness G codes that were already billed out.
