This visit is an opportunity for your health care provider to work with you for prevention and early detection of illness.
You are eligible to receive this benefit at no cost to you once a year.
Your health care team will provide you with information and referrals to maintain your health as well as build your personal prevention plan that will guide your care for the next five to ten years.
The benefit of having the Annual Wellness Visit every year is that we can monitor your progress and identify early changes in your health to prevent disease.
Medicare covers the full amount of this service. You will not be responsible for a co-pay.
However, the doctor or care manager may recommend follow up doctor visits that may require a copayment.
When you call our office, please tell the staff that you would like to schedule your Annual Wellness Visit.
