Senior Wellness Solutions
Health First Network has partnered with Senior Wellness Solutions (SWS) to provide our network with a simple, yet comprehensive Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) solution. The software enables a non-physician practitioner to efficiently deliver the AWV in 20 minutes or less and satisfies all the CMS required components of the visit. The cloud based system identifies all indicated preventive services, diagnostic tests to identify early chronic disease, and provides an extensive personalized prevention plan with long-term screen for the beneficiary. Our network receives the benefits of no up-front costs, a private login portal, free training, and significantly discounted pricing. Medicare reimburses approximately $173 for each 20 minute AWV and providers are likely to capture additional revenue from other clinically indicated preventive services identified by the SWS software.
