Summary
This policy encourages providers to proactively discuss urinary incontinence with patients, especially older adults, as part of routine care. It provides guidance on incorporating bladder health conversations into visits through open-ended questions, screening high-risk populations, and patient education.
Action Required
No immediate billing system changes required. This is clinical guidance for providers on patient communication regarding incontinence. Billing team should be aware that providers may begin documenting more incontinence-related visits and treatments, which could result in increased billing for related evaluation and management codes and incontinence treatments.
