Annual Wellness Visits (AWV)

Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs)

Annual Wellness Visits are preventive appointments offered to Medicare beneficiaries that focus on health risk assessment, care planning, and early identification of potential conditions.

AWVs are central to value-based care programs, helping providers close quality gaps, improve care coordination, and strengthen patient engagement. When optimized, they can drive both better outcomes and improved performance in quality programs.

Annual Wellness Visits:

• Promote early detection and prevention.

• Support personalized care planning and chronic disease management.

• Align with quality reporting and risk adjustment strategies.
