As we get older, staying on top of our health becomes more important than ever. A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is one of the best ways to ensure you’re taking proactive steps toward a longer, healthier, and more independent life. Unlike a traditional physical exam, this no-cost, once-a-year visit focuses on preventive care, health risk assessments, and personalized health planning—all designed to keep you feeling your best.
What Happens During a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?
This visit is an opportunity to review your entire health picture and set up a plan for maintaining your well-being. During your appointment, your provider will:
- Review Your Medical History & Medications – Ensure your treatments are working effectively and safely.
- Track Routine Health Measurements – Monitor key indicators like blood pressure, weight, and risk factors for chronic conditions.
- Complete a Cognitive & Health Risk Assessment – Identify early signs of memory concerns, fall risks, and other aging-related issues.
- Provide Personalized Health Advice – Get expert guidance on nutrition, exercise, and preventive screenings tailored to your needs.
- Discuss Advanced Care Planning – Have conversations about future healthcare preferences so your care aligns with your wishes.
