As we age, staying healthy means being proactive. One simple, yearly step – your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit – can help you catch issues early, stay up to date with vaccines and screenings, and create a personalized plan for the years ahead.
Unlike a traditional physical, this Medicare-covered visit is all about prevention and planning, not diagnosing or treating current problems. It’s fully covered once every 12 months for anyone with Medicare Part B, with no out-of-pocket cost to you.
At Sadler Health Center, we believe that prevention and strong patient-provider relationships are key to quality care. That’s why your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is more than just an appointment – it’s a proactive step toward living your healthiest life.
What Is a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?
This visit is a preventive benefit for Medicare patients. It’s designed to help you and your provider:
- Identify health risks early.
- Stay current on important screenings and vaccines.
- Build a customized prevention plan based on your health history, lifestyle and goals.
Unlike a full physical exam, this visit is more of a check-in and planning session focused on keeping your health on track.
Note: This specific type of wellness visit is only available to Medicare patients. If you’re not on Medicare, Sadler still offers a range of preventive care options. Just ask our team what’s right for you.
What to Expect
At your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit, you can expect:
- A Health Risk Assessment – a short questionnaire about your health habits and daily life.
- Review of your personal and family medical history.
- A list and review of current medications.
- Measurement of vitals, height, weight and body mass index (BMI).
- Cognitive function and mobility screening.
- Advance care planning, if appropriate.
You’ll also have a chance to discuss your sleep, nutrition, exercise, emotional health and anything else that may impact your well-being.
Why It Matters
Your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit can help:
- Detect potential health issues before symptoms appear.
- Prevent unnecessary ER visits or hospitalizations.
- Keep your vaccinations and screenings on schedule.
- Make sure your medications are still safe and effective.
- Connect you with helpful resources, including nutrition, aging support and mental health services.
Whether you’re managing chronic conditions or simply want to stay on top of your health, this visit helps keep your care personalized and forward-looking.
