If you’re 65 years or older, did you know that Medicare will cover the cost for one annual wellness visit per year?
That’s a pretty great deal when you consider how important preventative health is, which is the purpose of these visits. During your visit we’ll help to identify, prevent or reduce health risks based on your current health, medical history and any potential risk factors.
At Iowa Specialty Hospital, your health is our priority. That’s why we have a dedicated provider who conducts all of our Medicare wellness visits.
During the visit, you and the provider will:
Review your family medical history
Conduct routine vital checks including blood pressure, weight, height, etc.
Look for signs of any possible impairment
Review health and wellness advice
Review any possible risk factors and prevention plans
Benefits to Medicare wellness visit include:
Early detection of potential risks
Possible reduction of healthcare costs from early detection and prevention
Personalized health prevention plan
Collaboration with your primary care physician
Screening schedule (if appropriate based on exam findings)
No cost to you (Medicare covers one visit per year!)
