August 20, 2012 Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) Services: Turn-key Services for Improving Profits and Clinical Quality
Agenda 1) The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit Services 2) About Implementing Technologies
The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a newly allowable and fully reimbursed Medicare preventative service AWV is… AWV is NOT… • Outlined in the President’s Affordable Care Act (Began January 1, 2011) • Conducted every 12 months • A Medicare paid benefit with NO copay for patients • Reimbursed at $111-172 (not adjusted for geography) • Allows for payment for the AWV service and a medically necessary service during a single encounter • May be executed by a mid-level or nurse (with physician on site) • NOT intended to replace other annual exams • Does not include complex procedures (e.g. only vitals required are height, weight, and blood pressure) • Does not include questions typically asked during an annual exam This highly lucrative preventative service is NOT intended to replace the existing annual checkup, rather supplement it
The typical primary care, family medicine, or urgent care clinic could increase their revenue by an estimated $20,000-70,000 per physician Additional revenue potential is seen from: • Outreach to new perspective patients • Reengagement with inactive patients • Delivery of additional medically necessary services • Scheduling follow-on and other services Primary AWV Financial Benefit • 25% yield expected from communication, outreach, and scheduling efforts • $20,000-70,000 increased revenue per physician (dependent on practice profile and services selected) Secondary Financial Benefit Identification of risk factors, and improvements to clinical quality, are the primary motivations for CMS and many physicians when offering this exam
