How a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit Helps You
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a preventive visit with your provider and a great opportunity to focus on issues or concerns that may be overlooked in a routine physical exam. During the visit, your health-care team will help you develop a long-term preventive care plan to guide your health.
Who is Eligible?
If you have Medicare Part B coverage and have not had a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit or a Welcome to Medicare Visit in the past 12 months, you may be eligible. If you are unsure, please contact your insurance provider to verify eligibility.
What does the AWV cost?
Patients pay nothing out-of-pocket for this visit. During your visit if you require further tests or screenings other than those outlined in the appointment overview, a co-payment or deductible expense may occur.
