Annual Wellness Visit

Annual Wellness Visits are simply a conversation between you and your doctor to discuss your health history. During the discussion, address any concerns you may have about your health. The provider will review your medications and immunizations to ensure everything is up to date. It is also a time when you and your doctor review your existing health problems. Together you will determine what health issues may become a concern in the future and how to prevent them. The goals of an Annual Wellness Visit are to create a complete personal and family health history to help prevent future health problems.

Welcome To Medicare

A Welcome to Medicare preventive visit is a one-time appointment you can choose to schedule when you turn 65 and are new to Medicare. The goal of this visit is to promote general health and help prevent possible diseases.
