Medicare Annual Wellness Visits at FloridaMD Clinic
A wellness visit is not the same as a traditional annual physical. Instead of a head-to-toe physical exam, a wellness visit is a time for you and your healthcare provider to create a personalized prevention plan to keep you healthy and proactive about your care. At FloridaMD Clinic in Altamonte Springs, we specialize in these visits, ensuring you meet all of your Medicare requirements and set a strong foundation for your health in the year ahead.
Request an AppointmentWhat is a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly, no-cost appointment covered by Medicare Part B. It is designed to develop or update a personalized prevention plan to help you stay healthy and avoid illness. This visit is typically for Medicare patients who have had Part B coverage for at least 12 months.
What to Expect During Your Wellness Visit
During your Annual Wellness Visit at FloridaMD Clinic, we will focus on the following key areas:
- Health Risk Assessment: You will complete a questionnaire to help us understand your health status, lifestyle, and potential risks.
- Medical and Family History: We will review and update your medical history, as well as your family’s health history, to identify any new or ongoing risk factors.
- Routine Measurements: We will take routine measurements such as your height, weight, and blood pressure.
- Medication Review: We will review all of your current medications, including prescriptions, over-the-counter drugs, and supplements, to ensure they are safe and effective.
- Cognitive Assessment: We will perform a screening to check for any signs of cognitive impairment, such as memory loss.
- Personalized Prevention Plan: We will work with you to create a personalized plan for the next 5 to 10 years, which may include:
- A schedule for recommended screenings and vaccinations.
- Health advice on diet and exercise.
- Referrals to other preventive services, such as fall prevention programs or nutritional counseling.
It’s important to note that a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit does not include a full physical exam, blood work, or treatment for specific illnesses. If you have a particular health concern or chronic condition you would like to discuss, you can schedule a separate appointment or address it during the same visit. In that case, additional charges may apply based on your insurance plan.
