Annual Wellness Visit
An Annual Wellness Visit is specific to each and every individual. It is not a physical examination, but rather a discussion with a healthcare prescriber about your overall health history, a review of your personal immunizations and medications, and discussions about any additional health concerns. In addition, at your Annual Wellness Visit your healthcare prescriber will give focus to any current health issues you have as well as any potential health issues you may have going forward and steps you can take to avoid them.
At each Wellness Visit, it is the goal of your healthcare prescriber to compile a complete personal and family health history and determine appropriate actions to be taken to prevent any future health problems from arising. An Annual Wellness Visit will vary from patient to patient since health issues, health concerns, and personal needs are quite different. The goal is to keep you healthy and intervene early when medical issues arise.
If your healthcare prescriber is unable to provide this service, we can help facilitate this process. Medicare beneficiaries are eligible for this visit once every 12 months at no cost to them. Call today for questions regarding this visit. (210) 267-1197.
