摘要

Objective

To assess whether completing a Medicare annual wellness visit has a lower association with emergency room visits in a federally-qualified health center setting.

Methods

We examined rates of emergency room visits of Medicare beneficiaries in those who completed Medicare annual wellness visits to those who did not complete Medicare annual wellness visits from January 2024 toDecember 2024.

Results

The rates of emergency room visits are lower in those who completed Medicare annual wellness visits.

Conclusions

Federally qualified health center settings should prioritize scheduling and targeting patients for Medicare annual wellness visits, as completion of these visits have the potential to reduce emergency visits.
