I have heard that Medicare will now require a health risk assessment as part of the AWV for 2012. Does anyone know if this is true or where I can get more information on this?
 
there is a new HRA (health risk assessement) eff Jan 2012. It's different from the one already included in the AWV. This is a form that must be filled out by the patient prior to or during the AWV and evaluated by the provider in his/her AWV exam. CMS does not have a sample form, but does Part B news.com dated 11-7-11 has the details.
 
Does anyone have reference to a template for the new 2012 AWV requirements. We have a template for 2011, but we need to add the new requirements and didn't know if anyone would be willing to share their information on this.
