The 2021 Wellness Visit Report is Now Available to Providers

The 2021 Wellness Visit Report (WVR) is now available on the ADK Share Portal. Each organization has an authorized individual with access to the ADK Share Portal who can download the report.

Background:  The WVR replaces the Annual Wellness Visit Analysis that the ACO used to distribute as part of the quarterly ACO Provider Report Package. This newest edition includes claims processed through December 2021. Payers included are Empire, Excellus, Fidelis, and Medicare.

What is WVR? The WVR lists your attributed patients (according to the payer) who…

• are due for a wellness visit within the next six months
• have cancer screenings due in 2022, and/or
• had chronic (or “forever”) conditions previously coded but not coded in 2021

Report Tab 1: “Need Wellness Visit”
There are four report tabs included in the file:What is included in the WVR and why?

• Why:  This report can be used to:
  • See your payer-attributed patients who will need a wellness visit by October 1, 2022.
  • Pre-visit plan: Identify coding gaps and/or cancer screenings coming due and diabetic patients who need a current A1c.
