Primary care visits shape your health plan. The value of an annual primary care physician (PCP) visit is that pertinent information is gathered and updated, medications are reconciled, appropriate screenings are ordered and needed vaccines are administered. It provides an opportunity for individuals to increase the likelihood of proactively addressing chronic conditions and other health concerns. HORANalytics® found that when individuals do not receive an annual primary care visit, the average additional cost for employers is 11% more per member per year. In fact, data illustrates that although those with annual PCP compliance have a riskier demographic and chronic condition profile, regular PCP engagement helps their annual costs remain lower.
