Dallas – October 07, 2026 -- Patients who completed Annual Wellness Visits through Primary Partners Alliance's (PPA) population health strategy generated nearly $70 lower per-member-per-month healthcare costs than those who did not, according to a one-year analysis of the organization's Medicare Shared Savings Program and ACO REACH population.
AWV completion drove measurable cost and utilization reductions across PPA's network
The analysis found per-member-per-month costs of $947 for patients who completed an AWV versus $1,014 for those who did not. Readmission rates were 44% lower among AWV completers, at 9% compared with 16% for non-completers. Emergency department utilization also fell, registering 272 visits per 1,000 patients versus 286 per 1,000 for the comparison group.
