Annual Wellness Visits Are an Opportunity for Telehealth Visits

  • October 1, 2020

    An Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) can be done via telehealth. If your Medicare Advantage patients don’t want in-person AWVs, here are three things you can share to encourage participation:

    1. Telehealth means they can stay home and safe from possible COVID-19 exposure while getting the same attention and care from their primary care doctor.
    2. It’s important to have a no-cost AWV to develop or update a personalized prevention plan to help prevent disease and disability.
    3. Staff are happy to explain how the practice’s telehealth offering works.

    This guide explains visit frequency, documentation, and billing guidelines.
