What a internal medicine annual wellness visit coordinator does
An internal medicine AWV coordinator owns the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit program — identifying eligible patients, scheduling them, completing the Health Risk Assessment over the phone in advance, pre-charting the personalized prevention plan, and pulling overdue HEDIS gaps into the visit so the provider can address them in one encounter.
They manage the IPPE (Welcome to Medicare), initial AWV (G0438), and subsequent AWV (G0439) workflow, plus advance care planning add-on (99497) where appropriate.
An internal medicine AWV coordinator is a remote staff member who can drive AWV completion above 70% of an internist's eligible Medicare panel, lifting revenue, STAR ratings, and downstream visit volume.

Build a complete remote team for your internal medicine practice.
Virtual Medical Assistant
An internal medicine virtual medical assistant supports the complex adult care workflow of an internist by managing scheduling, intake for new and follow-up patients, chart pre-visit prep, message triage, refill routing, and patient phone calls — all inside Athena, Epic, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, or Practice Fusion. They prioritize the panel by acuity, ensuring high-risk patients with multiple comorbidities are not lost in the inbox.
Learn moreMedical Scribe
An internal medicine medical scribe joins each adult patient encounter live over secure audio or video and documents the entire visit into the EHR — detailed HPI, comprehensive ROS, exam, assessment with differential reasoning, and a problem-based plan — so notes are closed in the room. Scribes are trained in the long, layered visits internal medicine demands: medication reconciliation across 8–15 drugs, comorbidity management, and follow-up of multiple specialist recommendations.
Learn moreCare Coordinator
An internal medicine care coordinator owns the work between visits — closing care gaps, managing transitions of care from the hospital (TCM), coordinating home health and hospice referrals, following up on abnormal results, and outreach for chronic disease management. They live in the EHR registry, pull HEDIS gap lists, and call patients personally to bring them back in.
Learn moreReferral Coordinator
An internal medicine referral coordinator manages the high volume of outbound referrals an adult primary care office generates — cardiology, pulmonology, GI, oncology, endocrinology, nephrology, behavioral health, and surgical specialties. They confirm insurance, secure prior auths and referral numbers required by Medicare Advantage and HMOs, send chart notes to the receiving specialist, schedule the patient, and chase the consult note back into the EHR.
Learn morePrior Authorization Specialist
An internal medicine prior authorization specialist owns prior auths for advanced imaging (cardiac MRI, PET, CT angiography), brand and biologic medications (GLP-1s, SGLT2s, PCSK9 inhibitors, biologics for IBD and rheumatology), DME, and Medicare Advantage specialist referrals. They submit through CoverMyMeds, Surescripts, and payer portals, attach required clinical documentation, follow up on status, work denials, and file peer-to-peer appeals.
Learn moreInsurance Verification Specialist
An internal medicine insurance verification specialist runs eligibility 48–72 hours before every visit — confirming the patient's PCP designation on Medicare Advantage, primary care visit copays, deductibles, and any visit limits or carve-outs for behavioral health and labs. They identify dual-eligible Medicare/Medicaid patients, MSP coverage, and recent plan changes that would otherwise cause denials.
