Longitudinal analysis of Annual Wellness Visit use among Medicare enrollees: Provider, enrollee, and clinic factors
The majority of Medicare beneficiaries in the study engaged with AWVs, with 86% having two or more over the 5-year period. These findings underscore the broad acceptance of AWVs among beneficiaries but also show that clinic and provider factors influence usage, especially among older, minoritized, and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Interventions at the provider and clinic levels are necessary to further improve AWV uptake, particularly for vulnerable groups.
