Understanding Possible Costs from an Annual Medicare Wellness Visit or Yearly Preventative Care Visit

Patients with Medicare coverage may have one Medicare Wellness visit per year at no cost with their primary care provider. For patients who are covered by commercial insurances, one yearly Preventative Care visit (physical) is covered at no cost. These preventive and wellness appointments with your primary care provider allow us to monitor your health, provide valuable screenings, and ensure you’re on the right track to a healthy future.
What’s Covered in Your Free Annual Medicare Wellness Visit and Yearly Preventative Care Visit
-
Comprehensive review of your medical history
-
Health screenings (e.g., blood pressure, weight, review preventative care needs)
-
Personalized wellness plan to address nutrition exercise, and preventive care
Diagnostic Needs May Result in a Separate Charge
We want to ensure you receive the appropriate care for any new and chronic medical issues that go beyond routine preventive care. Please be aware that during your wellness or preventative care visit, if we review a chronic health issue, or address a new medical issue that requires additional evaluation, a diagnostic office visit may be necessary. In such cases, your health insurance plan may apply a separate copayment, coinsurance, deductible, or out-of-pocket cost for an office visit.
Annual wellness visits may not be required by your health insurance plan; however, they are required in order to remain an active patient at Keady Family Practice. We care deeply about your health and well-being and believe these visits provide such important information that we have made them a condition of ongoing care in our practice.
