Millennium Healthcare, Inc. Announces Scalable Annual Wellness Visit Market Opportunity

MELVILLE, NY--(Marketwired - Jul 17, 2015) - Millennium Healthcare, Inc. (OTCQB: MHCC), a developer and distributor of healthcare services and medical devices, today announced its scalable Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) marketing strategy.

"We are excited about the revenue opportunities that Healthpath's Annual Wellness Visit provides us in short order," said Noel Mijares, CEO of Millennium Healthcare.

The Annual Wellness Visit became effective January 1, 2011 under the Affordable Care Act. The purpose of this new Annual Wellness Visit is to create a personalized prevention plan for Medicare beneficiaries, with no cost to the patient. This means that unlike the vast majority of services Medicare offers its beneficiaries, which are reimbursed at 80% of the Medicare allowable, and the other 20% is billed to the beneficiary, the Annual Wellness Visit is classified under Common Procedure Terminology Code (CPTG 0438) and is paid at 100% of the Medicare allowable.

In 2014, only 7% of the 32 million Medicare recipients took advantage of the Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) benefit. This means that 29.7 million did not receive an AWV. Over $5 billion in wellness services could have realized in the AWV, allowed by Medicare.

Mijares added, "We believe that we are poised to take full advantage of this opportunity and expect to rapidly capture market share. Our marketing team has worked alongside our developers in creating a user friendly Web portal so physicians can enroll in just a few minutes. The training on the WellPath System will be conducted via a brief downloadable video. The physician's office can be conducting visits with the WellPath System immediately following the completion of this online training. This allows us to implement clients in a very scalable and efficient way, whereby a mass marketing model will allow us to expand this line of business very rapidly."

"We are currently in discussions with several large healthcare organizations and marketing firms that understand the revenue opportunities a physician can realize from AWV, especially given that WellPath allows physicians to increase this revenue stream 6x faster than attempting to conduct these visits manually."

"Our internal yearlong case study has conservatively demonstrated that managed by the WellPath System, a single physician could generate Millennium Healthcare $100,000 in revenue on an annualized basis. This leads us to believe that we may significantly exceed our recently released estimates of an annual 20 percent increase in overall revenue from this line of business," Mijares concluded.
