This comprehensive eBook provides practice managers, coders, auditors and other medical professionals with detailed information on the regulations surrounding Annual Wellness Visits. It is delivered immediately as a downloadable eBook (PDF).
The annual wellness visit or AWV is a new benefit introduced as part of the ACA and it is a potential revenue booster for practices as well as helpful to patients. Unfortunately this is a very complex service due to restrictive federal guidelines that define what it must include. Providers also confuse it with the much older but similar benefit called the initial preventive physical exam or IPPE.
This product explains precisely the regulations governing both services, including the exact list of required elements, documentation, supervision, etc. Also we include a comprehensive suite of forms that can be used to guarantee the service is performed correctly, with all needed information gathered and tests done. Finally we include a 10-question quiz with clinical examples, a decision tree explaining which service a patient is eligible for, and a quick reference sheet for both services. Also we include a long list of federal source documents and regulatory memos that back up our interpretation of the rules.
This eBook will give you expert guidance on how to:
- improve revenue and patient satisfaction by efficiently and properly performing these preventive services
- optimize your use of non-physicians by involving them in providing these services
- reduce denials and patient confusion by learning tactics to ensure the right service is given to the right patient
Features:
- 25 page guide explaining the AWV and IPPE + 80 pages of supporting source documents
- complete set of forms for the AWV, IPPE and the HRA (health risk assessment that is a mandatory component of the AWV)
- decision tree to determine whether patient gets IPPE, initial AWV or subsequent AWV
