Promoting Preventive Care: Annual Preventive Visits & Dental Wellness
At Meridian, we value our partnership in helping members stay healthy through preventive care. Two key services that support better health outcomes are Annual Preventive Visits (APVs) and routine dental care.
Annual Preventive Visits
APVs help identify health risks early, close care gaps, review medications, update preventive screenings, and support overall wellness. Providers can help by encouraging members to schedule their annual visit and using outreach and reminders to improve completion rates.
Routine Dental Visits
Oral health is an important part of overall health. Regular dental exams can help prevent disease, detect issues early, reduce avoidable emergency visits, and support management of chronic conditions. Providers can reinforce the importance of dental care and educate members about available dental benefits.
Working Together for Better Outcomes
By promoting preventive medical and dental care, we can:
- Improve preventive care compliance
- Identify health concerns earlier
- Increase member engagement and satisfaction
