Wellness Visits

Healthy people still need occasional an occasional check in to make sure they are not developing new health conditions. We offer the preventive Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (discussion about preventive care only) as well as other Wellness visits.

Medicare Annual Wellness Visits are not an "Annual Exam". An Annual Exam is where a patient is seen for a yearly check in to review current medical problems, get refills, and review blood work. Medicare Annual Wellness Visits are to evaluate how healthy you are and what medical problems you are at risk of developing.

​

Wellness Visits are important. During a regular office visit the time is spent discussing current medical problems. Not much time, if any, is spent discussing prevention of newer health problems. Prevention of new problems may include blood work (diabetes screening, high cholesterol screening, vitamin deficiency screening) or other test (mammogram for Breast Cancer Screening).

​

Wellness Visits help us set aside time just to focus on the best way to keep you well. They can include diet, lifestyle, and weight loss counseling as well as the screening mentioned above but are not only for weight loss counseling.
