Annual Wellness Visits

What is an AWV?

Medicare provides - meaning it’s FREE once every 12 months - an Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) to discuss your plan for preventive care for the upcoming year(s). Annual Wellness Visits include:

• Height, weight, blood pressure, and other routine measurements

• A review of your medical and family history

• Developing or updating a list of current providers

• Updating medication list

• A list of risk factors and treatment options for you

• A screening schedule (like a checklist) for appropriate preventive services to keep you healthy

• Advanced Care Planning

• Personalized Prevention Plan

Please Keep in Mind ...

During your Annual Wellness Visit if you need to be seen for anything other than the AWV itself - i.e. laboratory testing, seeing the physician for anything other than the AWV, medication refills, etc. - there will be a charge for that portion of your visit. In addition, you may notice a charge on your Medicare explanation of benefits. This charge is for claim purposes only and the patient is not responsible for paying that fee.

All You Need to Do

Schedule an AWV with your primary care physician before the end of the year!
