Understanding the Annual Wellness Visit
Date: July 25, 2011
Time: 2:00 PM ET - 3:30 PM ET
Type: Webinar
As of Jan. 1, people with Medicare have a new, preventive benefit—the Annual Wellness Visit (AWV).
Join NCOA's National Center for Benefits Outreach and Enrollment to learn about the components of the AWV benefit, looking both at the initial visit and subsequent visits, and how the benefit differs from the “Welcome to Medicare” physical exam.
We’ll also share resources that can help you answer your clients’ (and their doctors’) questions on how your clients can get the most out of this benefit.
Discover:
- What exactly does the visit include?
- How does it relate to other Medicare preventive and screening services?
- Is it different from the "Welcome to Medicare" physical?
