Medicare Annual Wellness Visits

For eligible Medicare patients, the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) focuses on preventive healthcare and the development or updating of a personalized prevention plan.

Your Medicare wellness visit may include a health-risk assessment and review of your medical history, medications, functional abilities, safety concerns, cognitive health, and recommended preventive services.

A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is different from a traditional comprehensive physical examination. Evaluation and treatment of new or existing medical problems may be provided separately when medically necessary and may be subject to your insurance plan’s applicable copayments or deductibles.

Regular preventive care can help identify health concerns early and ensure that you remain current with recommended health screenings, vaccinations, and other preventive services.
