Annual wellness visits (AWVs) are an important opportunity to provide excellent patient experiences. They offer a way for your patients to connect with you, ask questions and receive personalized guidance from you. That’s why we encourage our plan members to have this visit.
Our member population continues to grow, and you may have new Peoples Health patients assigned to your panel. An AWV is the best way for them to establish a relationship with you.
