Performing Annual Wellness Visits (AWV) provide a unique value that benefit your healthcare organization, providers and more importantly, your patients. AWVs aligns with population health management, and can identify any needs for additional patient services, including labs, imaging, procedures, and follow-up visits.
Benefits of AWVs
Annual Wellness Visits also improve quality impact and acuity scores, the patient’s loyalty to the provider and hospital system, the patient’s safety, and it reduces their health risks. AWVs can be performed virtually and have very good wRVUs for the providers. The financial values include being reimbursed $172 for initial AWVs, $130 for subsequent AWVs, and Rural Health Clinics have higher reimbursements. The benefits of performing AWVs include physician and staff alignment, improve workflows, increase patient screenings, and increase revenue.
