What is a Medicare Wellness Exam?
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is not the same as a routine physical. It’s a preventive service offered at no cost to Medicare beneficiaries that focuses on your overall health, risk factors, and personalized care plan. During your visit, our providers:
- Review your personal and family health history
- Assess your risk factors for chronic conditions like diabetes, heart disease, or osteoporosis
- Update your medication list and screen for potential interactions
- Provide preventive screenings, immunization updates, and lifestyle recommendations
- Develop a personalized prevention plan to help you maintain optimal health
By taking a proactive approach, we help you stay healthy, catch potential issues early, and improve your quality of life.
