The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) updated the CPT codes for the Annual Wellness Visit (AWV). For 2025, there were no major changes to the AWV program rules and regulations in CMS’s Final Rule.
The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a preventive healthcare service that helps patients develop or update a personalized prevention plan based on their current health and risk factors. Unlike a traditional physical exam, the AWV focuses on preventive care, risk assessment, and long-term wellness strategies rather than diagnosing or treating specific medical conditions.
