Health Risk Assessments

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act encourage Medicare Advantage members to complete a health risk assessment as part of an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV). 

Members can complete a Wellsource^® health risk assessment at NebraskaBlue.com/Wellness/Health-Resources under Expert Resources.  

Practitioners should remind patients to bring a copy of their member health assessment or the response letter to their AWV. The results of the member’s health assessment need to be available during the wellness visit so they can be considered when a care plan is created.
