The WellnessVisit.com Health Risk Assessment (HRA), is software that gives physicians an online tool to meet the requirements of the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. It is a simplified, low cost program, designed to increase physician revenues and better manage patient health. The program collects data, establishes a baseline for preventive services, and provides online and paper reports for the physician and patient.
 

Combining Medicine with Technology

The annual wellness visit, which has been offered by Medicare since January of 2011 as part of the Affordable Care Act signed into law two years ago, is seen as a way to get seniors medical care upfront and avoid costly hospitalizations down the road. Its focus is Prevention.

The wellness visit is not a physical exam but a way for a doctor, or his staff, to talk to the patient and ask question about chronic conditions like diabetes, depression, tobacco use or cognitive skills. Medicare beneficiaries can also work with their doctor to develop or update a plan to prevent disease, according to Medicare's website.
