Value-based care
Learn how Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) have a significant impact on quality of care, outcomes and value-based care performance; and how the AWV can be enhanced with valuable health plan sponsored programs.

The Medicare AWV is an important service to drive value-based care (VBC) transformation and for achieving CMS’ triple aim of better care quality, better health outcomes and reduced care costs. In addition, AWVs can be used as a springboard to participate in health plan-sponsored programs designed to capture accurate clinical documentation and close risk and quality care gaps.
