Medicare Annual Wellness Check

WHAT IS A MEDICARE ANNUAL WELLNESS CHECK?

The Annual Wellness Check is a yearly primary care visit that applies to individuals who have been covered by Medicare Part B for at least a year. The exam includes an assessment of your general wellness, along with developing a personalized plan for disease prevention. The Annual Wellness Check is different from a routine physical, as it focuses more on screening for diseases than a head-to-toe exam. Typically, the visit is fully covered by Medicare once every 12 months. The experienced family providers at Your Family Medical Clinic provide Medicare exams at our office. Please get in touch with our team to schedule an appointment. We offer a comfortable, family-centered environment where patients of all backgrounds are welcome.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING A MEDICARE VISIT

Our highly trained providers provide all exams within private treatment rooms at one of our convenient facilities. Prior to the exam, you’ll fill out a questionnaire that helps your provider evaluate your health and current disease risk factors. We will then review and update your medical history and current medications, along with checking your blood pressure, height, weight, and other basic indicators of health. The visit may also include screenings for cognitive impairments, hearing loss, and risk of falling. Based on your individual disease risk factors, your provider will provide any needed treatment options, along with customized health advice focused on disease prevention.
