Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) provides which of the following?

• A. Laboratory results only
• B. Health risk assessment and personal prevention plan
• C. Diagnosis and treatment plan
• D. Surgical clearance

Answer: (B)

The Annual Wellness Visit is a preventive service that focuses on identifying health risks and planning prevention. The core elements are a health risk assessment, which collects information on medical history, risk factors, functional status, and social factors to flag future health needs, and a personalized prevention plan that lists recommended screenings, immunizations, and goals to address those risks. This visit isn’t about producing laboratory results, creating a diagnosis or treatment plan, or providing surgical clearance. Those aspects come from other types of care. So the description that matches AWV is the health risk assessment paired with a personalized prevention plan.
