Annual Wellness Visit

In today's ever changing landscape of healthcare, Annual wellness visit continues to be an excellent opportunity in affording value based care by addressing modifiable risk factors with aging adults and closing gaps in care not captured in routine office visits.

Yet, implementation of this service continues to be a challenge, from solo practitioners to large healthcare systems, for various reasons.

The Visit Guidelines

Even after 8+ years since it's inception, the Annual Wellness visit program continues to be misunderstood with different type of visits, applicable time-frames and discrete tasks to be completed at each visit.

Implementation Issues

Patients and some providers alike are confused about wellness visits vs. annual physicals due to lack of patient education

Time constraints and diverse work-flows can vary for each practice or sometimes for each provider within a single practice, making implementation difficult

From external vendors to internal modules within practice EMR, multiple choices add to the confusion of selecting the right option which confirms to CMS guidelines

Certain providers continue to provide annual physicals and erroneously bill these visits with wellness visit codes without providing a copy of the care plan to the patient

There is widespread belief that wellness visits should be conducted only by providers even though licensed clinical professionals working under the direct supervision can accomplish this task, freeing up the provider's valuable time

Our Business Model

Proprietary Software Solution

We provide a robust and comprehensive solution for conducting wellness visits on our proprietary software platform. This platform completes health risk assessment that confirms to CMS guidelines and is a better alternative to integrated EMR modules. The patient's care plan and provider reports produced by our software platform are arguably the best in the industry and can also be personalized for each individual client or a complete healthcare system.

Qualified Manpower

Our success is directly dependent upon the quality of our employees. We pride ourselves in selecting, training and embedding qualified manpower at our client sites to execute the annual wellness visits on Medicare beneficiaries. Our nurses are trained in all aspects of an annual wellness visit, from official guidelines to unique practice work-flow to client EMR navigation, and can work independently without impacting the practice daily work-flow or adding to the staff workload.

Personalized Solutions

There is no cookie cutter solution in our business model. We strive to understand the current work-flow and processes of every client site, assess challenges and offer recommendations prior to going live. An assigned account manager works closely with client and corporate team to ensure that all phases from pre-launch to post-launch are monitored on a continual basis for a seamless experience and meets our client expectations.

Revenue Expectations

It is simply impossible for us to provide a single financial number our clients can realize by outsourcing the wellness visit services to us. The fluctuating geographic fee schedules and even the actual services provided to a patient, can vary greatly during a wellness visit, thereby making client's net profit calculation impractical. Nevertheless, our clients usually earn more than what they pay us for our services and we typically get paid AFTER the client has realized their reimbursements from insurance carriers.
What makes our business model rather unique is that we bear the upfront risk and cost of manpower payroll, technology and equipment without any initial investment from our clients. And yet, our clients continue to earn additional revenue without spending any face time with their patients, during the actual wellness visit. Furthermore, each wellness visit can be complemented by or can lead to various ancillary services, thereby enhancing the clinical value and financial gains from a single visit.
