4 Medicare Advantage Value Based Care: The importance of annual planned visits, closing gaps in care, and documenting the burden of illness Julie Mann, Anthem Medicare Advantage Provider Network Manager II Summary: The Medicare Advantage (MA) annual planned visit provides great opportunities to help in shifting current strategies and operations from a reactive approach to a proactive approach in managing patients and their needs. The demand for value-based care is encouraging providers to adopt a completely different technique in delivering care to their population. An annual planned physical allows the provider the opportunity to screen, assess and conduct a physical exam on their MA patients in order to collect data on medical, psychosocial, functional capabilities, and limitations of this population. The information collected during the physical is critical in documenting and coding to the highest level of specificity of the burden of illness, closing gaps in care and care planning.
