The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is designed to encourage and support individuals in taking an active role in accurately assessing and managing their health and improving their well-being and quality of life. The AWV was created by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in 2011 and is a free benefit for Medicare patients. This page is designed to help practices and providers find the tools and resources they need to successfully implement or improve their AWV process.

Under MIPS, CMS will conduct an annual data validation process. Clinicians are randomly selected for audit, and while it is unknown how many clinicians will receive a request, historical programs audited approximately one in 10 clinicians. This resource will guide you through what information you should retain in case of an audit.
