Medicare Annual Wellness Visits

If you're enrolled in Medicare Part B, you're entitled to a free Annual Wellness Visit every year. These visits help us identify risk factors, prevent illness, and build a personalized health plan tailored to your goals.
Your visit includes:
- Health risk assessment
- Review of medical and family history
- Cognitive function screening
- Personalized prevention plan
- Advance care planning (as needed)
We focus on early detection, education, and empowering seniors to make informed choices.
Medicare Annual Wellness Visits FAQs
Is the Annual Wellness Visit the same as a physical?
No. It’s more focused on preventive health and doesn’t typically include labs or hands-on exams unless needed. You can always schedule a separate physical exam.
Do I pay anything for this visit?
If you have Medicare Part B, the Annual Wellness Visit is fully covered once every 12 months with no out-of-pocket cost.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a list of your medications, previous test results (if applicable), vaccine history, and any health concerns or goals you’d like to discuss.
Polypharmacy Management
Safe, Streamlined Medication Support for Seniors
Many seniors take multiple prescriptions daily, which can increase the risk of drug interactions, side effects, or confusion. We help simplify your regimen through polypharmacy management, which includes:
- Full medication review
- Identification of duplications or interactions
- Coordination with specialists and pharmacies
- Streamlining medication schedules
- Recommendations for safer alternatives when needed
Our goal is to reduce risk and help you feel your best with fewer complications.
Polypharmacy Management FAQs
What is polypharmacy?
Polypharmacy refers to taking multiple medications—often 5 or more—which increases the risk of harmful drug interactions, especially in older adults.
Can you help me reduce the number of medications I take?
Yes. We’ll assess which medications are necessary and which may no longer be needed, in collaboration with your specialists if needed.
Do you review over-the-counter medications and supplements too?
Absolutely. Vitamins, herbal products, and OTC drugs can interact with prescriptions, so we evaluate your entire medication list.
