Medicare Annual Wellness Visits: A Simple Step Toward Better Health

Staying healthy isn't just about treating illness—it's also about preventing health concerns before they become more serious. That's why Medicare Annual Wellness Visits are such an important part of healthy aging.

A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit gives you and your healthcare provider time to review your overall health, discuss risk factors, update medications, and develop a personalized prevention plan based on your individual needs and goals.

During the visit, your provider may discuss:
• Recommended screenings and preventive services
• Current medications and health history
• Fall prevention and home safety
• Memory and cognitive health
• Nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyle habits

These visits are designed to help you stay healthy, maintain your independence, and identify potential concerns early.

If you have Medicare and haven't had a wellness visit within the past year, now may be a great time to schedule one.

As a Federally Qualified Health Center, RCMS provides care regardless of ability to pay—no one is turned away.
