Primary Aims of Vervelo Annual Wellness Visits

The AWV isn't just a billable visit — it's the highest-leverage touchpoint for preventive care and VBC program enrollment in your Medicare panel.

01
Maximize AWV Completion Rates

Systematic eligibility identification, automated outreach, and pre-visit HRA collection dramatically increase the percentage of eligible Medicare patients who complete their annual wellness visit.

02
Identify Hidden Care Gaps

The AWV surfaces care gaps that would otherwise remain invisible between sick visits — overdue screenings, missed immunizations, unaddressed behavioral health concerns, and new chronic conditions.

03
Drive VBC Program Enrollment

The AWV is the single best moment to enroll patients in CCM, PCM, RPM, and BHI. Vervelo surfaces eligibility and enables same-visit consent — turning every AWV into a program pipeline.

04
Reduce Unnecessary ED Utilization

Preventive care planning, medication reconciliation, and fall risk assessment during the AWV reduce the acute events that drive Medicare's most expensive utilization.

05
Improve HEDIS & Star Ratings

AWV completion and the care gap closures it triggers directly improve CMS quality measure performance — supporting better Star ratings and risk contract performance.

06
Capture Every Billable Dollar

G0402, G0438, G0439, -25 modifier E&M, and downstream VBC program revenue — Vervelo ensures you bill correctly and completely for every wellness visit encounter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Annual Wellness Visits and Vervelo's AWV platform.

What is the difference between G0402, G0438, and G0439? +
G0402 (Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit) is a one-time visit for new Medicare beneficiaries within their first 12 months. G0438 (Initial AWV) is for beneficiaries who have had Medicare Part B for more than 12 months but have never had an AWV. G0439 (Subsequent AWV) is the annual renewal billed every 12 months after the initial AWV. Vervelo's system automatically identifies which code applies to each patient based on their Medicare enrollment and visit history.
Can the AWV be billed on the same day as a regular office visit? +
Yes — if the patient presents an additional, separately identifiable medical problem during the AWV appointment, you can bill both the AWV and an E&M visit with modifier -25. CMS requires that the E&M work be clearly documented as distinct from the AWV. Vervelo flags these opportunities in real time and helps providers document the required medical decision-making to support both claims.
What staff can perform the AWV? +
Under CMS rules, the AWV can be performed by a physician, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or a medical professional (such as a health educator, RN, or medical assistant) directly supervised by the physician. The Personalized Prevention Plan must be reviewed and approved by the ordering physician. Vervelo's workflow supports both physician-led and staff-led AWV models.
How does the AWV help us enroll patients in CCM or RPM? +
The AWV is the highest-yield enrollment opportunity for VBC programs because it's a dedicated, scheduled wellness visit focused on the patient's overall health. Vervelo surfaces CCM and RPM eligibility automatically based on the patient's active diagnoses and HRA responses — and guides the care team through verbal consent collection and program enrollment during the same appointment.
How long does it take to get the AWV platform operational? +
Most practices are completing AWVs with Vervelo within 1–2 weeks. Week one covers EHR integration, Medicare panel import, and eligibility scanning setup. Week two covers HRA customization, PPP template configuration, and staff training. By the end of week two, your team is scheduling and completing AWVs with automated documentation and billing.
