Medicare Annual Wellness Visit

The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a yearly consultation with your provider to create or update a tailored prevention plan based on your health and risk factors, focusing on preventing illness. Note, the AWV isn't a full physical exam but is similar to the initial "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit.

Despite 90% of Medicare beneficiaries seeing a physician annually, often six times, the CDC reports just 33% of women and 40% of men over 65 receive all recommended preventive services. Moreover, CMS indicates only 14.5% of eligible Part B beneficiaries utilize the Annual Wellness Visit (AWV), highlighting its underuse.

Medicare covers one Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) per year for beneficiaries past their first 12 months of Part B coverage and who haven't had an AWV or Initial Preventive Physical Exam (IPPE) in the last year. For more details on AWV coverage, consult the CMS MLN
