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!
