Proactive healthcare to keep you healthy and catch potential issues early
What is a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly appointment with your healthcare provider to develop or update a personalized prevention plan. It includes a health risk assessment, review of medical and family history, measurement of vital signs, and a screening schedule for preventive services. This visit is fully covered by Medicare with no copay or deductible.
We provide a comprehensive range of immunizations including annual flu shots, COVID-19 vaccines and boosters, pneumonia vaccines (Pneumovax and Prevnar), shingles vaccine (Shingrix), Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis), and other CDC-recommended vaccines based on your age and health conditions
Our personalized risk assessment evaluates your individual health risks based on factors like age, family history, lifestyle, and current health status. We use this information to create a customized prevention plan that may include screening recommendations, lifestyle modifications, and preventive measures tailored specifically to you.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Welcome to Medicare visit and an Annual Wellness Visit?
The Welcome to Medicare visit (Initial Preventive Physical Examination) is a one-time appointment available within the first 12 months of enrolling in Medicare Part B. The Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly appointment that occurs after you’ve had Medicare Part B for longer than 12 months. Both are fully covered by Medicare.
No, fasting is not required for a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. However, if your provider orders blood work during or after your visit, you may need to fast for those specific lab tests. We will let you know in advance if any fasting is needed.
Medicare Part B covers flu shots, pneumonia vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, and Hepatitis B shots for high-risk patients. Medicare Part D covers other commercially available vaccines like shingles (Shingrix) and Tdap. Most preventive immunizations have no out-of-pocket cost.
Medicare covers one Annual Wellness Visit every 12 months (11 full months must pass since your last visit). We recommend scheduling your visit around the same time each year to maintain consistent preventive care and health monitoring.
Please bring your Medicare card, a list of current medications (including over-the-counter and supplements), your medical history information, and any questions you have about your health. If you have advance directives or living wills, bring copies for your records.
Yes, you can receive recommended immunizations during your Annual Wellness Visit if they are appropriate for your age and health status. This makes it convenient to stay up-to-date on all your preventive care in one appointment
