The statement sounds like you are performing an annual PE/preventive services at the visit, AND addressing (E/M) problems? If so, one simple adjustment to significantly improve revenue is to bill for both, using a -25 modifier on the 99214. You are doing the work required for the codes, you might as well get paid for it.
