Call type insight
Annual Wellness Visit Calls
Annual wellness visit calls represent a significant revenue opportunity that most practices fail to fully capture. Medicare's Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a separately billable preventive service that many eligible patients don't know about or don't schedule. For practices with Medicare populations, proactive AWV outreach can generate substantial revenue while improving patient health outcomes through preventive care.
What annual wellness visit calls typically involve
- •Proactive outreach to eligible Medicare patients
- •Explanation of what the AWV includes
- •Questions about cost and coverage
- •Scheduling AWV appointments
- •Coordination with other needed visits
- •Follow-up with patients who haven't scheduled
AWV calls are revenue-generating outreach that most practices don't do systematically.
Why AWV outreach falls behind
- •Staff are consumed by inbound calls and tasks
- •Outbound calling requires dedicated time
- •Patients don't understand AWV benefits
- •No systematic tracking of eligible patients
- •AWV scheduling competes with sick visits
- •Revenue opportunity isn't visible to front-line staff
AWV outreach is important but not urgent — so it doesn't happen.
The cost of missed AWV opportunities
- •Significant Medicare revenue is left on the table
- •Preventive care opportunities are missed
- •Health risk assessments aren't completed
- •Care gaps aren't identified and addressed
- •Quality metrics suffer
- •Competitors who do AWV outreach capture patients
A practice with 500 Medicare patients missing AWVs leaves $50,000+ annually on the table.
How AI reception transforms AWV outreach
- •Identifies eligible patients who haven't had AWVs
- •Conducts proactive outreach calls systematically
- •Explains AWV benefits and addresses questions
- •Schedules AWV appointments efficiently
- •Follows up with patients who don't schedule initially
- •Tracks AWV completion rates and revenue
AI makes AWV outreach systematic instead of aspirational.
What stays human in AWV workflows
- •Clinical AWV examination and assessment
- •Health risk assessment review
- •Care plan development
- •Patient counseling and education
- •Complex scheduling decisions
AI handles outreach and scheduling. Humans handle clinical care.
Metrics that improve with AI AWV outreach
- •AWV completion rate increases from 30% to 70%+
- •Medicare revenue from AWVs increases significantly
- •Care gap identification improves
- •Quality metrics improve with preventive care
Systematic outreach captures revenue while improving patient health.

Frequently asked questions
How does AI identify eligible patients?
AI can integrate with your EHR or billing system to identify Medicare patients who haven't had an AWV in the current year.
What if patients don't understand the AWV?
AI explains AWV benefits clearly, addressing common questions about what's included and that there's no cost to the patient.
How do you handle patients who decline?
AI documents the decline and can schedule follow-up outreach later in the year, giving patients another opportunity to schedule.
Bottom line
Annual Wellness Visits are revenue sitting on the table that most practices don't capture. AI reception conducts systematic outreach to eligible patients, explaining benefits and scheduling appointments — turning missed opportunities into completed visits and captured revenue.
