Data Confirm That AWVs Serve as an Important Gateway, as Those Who Receive One Are Up To 10 Times More Likely to Complete Other High-Value Healthcare Activities MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NovuHealth, the healthcare industry’s leading consumer engagement company, today released new data that show that Medicare and Medicaid members who get an annual wellness visit (AWV) are much more likely to perform other high-value healthcare activities, from flu shots to cancer screenings. In addition to long-standing benefits of AWVs, including early detection of chronic disease and stronger patient-provider relationships, this new evidence gleaned from NovuHealth member engagement programs indicates that AWVs can also lead to additional healthy activities by members that further augment their health. "Our programs show that AWVs are an important gateway, leading to the completion of other activities by plan members," said Eileen Cianciolo, Chief Product Officer at NovuHealth. “However, less than a fifth of eligible Medicaid members receive an annual wellness visit, despite the fact that they’re covered by their health plans. The bottom line: AWVs can have a significant impact on the overall health of individuals, so it’s time for plans to recognize the benefits and encourage members to take action.” The NovuHealth data indicate that when health plans make AWVs a central component of their member reward and engagement strategies, they see a significant lift in the completion of the AWVs as well as other high-value activities. This holds true across a wide variety of health conditions. For example:
Timing matters. NovuHealth results found that roughly 70 percent of Medicare members and 81 percent of Medicaid members complete their AWV before completing any other high-value healthcare activity, making the AWV an important gateway to other important healthcare activities.
