Medicare Annual Wellness Visits in St. George, Utah
A visit focused on creating or updating your personalized prevention plan — not a routine physical exam.
Planning ahead with Medicare
A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is a conversation about prevention. You and your provider review your health history and risk factors and create or update a personalized plan for staying well.
Because it is not a hands-on physical, a separate concern or exam may be handled differently. If you are looking for a physical exam, see Annual Physicals & Wellness Exams.
What a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit typically includes
The visit builds or updates your personalized prevention plan. It typically includes:
- A health risk assessment
- Medical and family history review
- Current medication review
- Routine measurements such as weight and blood pressure
- A check on memory and thinking
- Screening and vaccine recommendations
- Optional advance care planning discussion
Questions you may want to ask
- Is this the visit I need, or am I looking for a physical exam?
- What should my prevention plan focus on this year?
- Is anything I want to discuss outside the wellness visit itself?
- Would I like to talk about future care wishes?
Helping the visit go smoothly
If available, bring your Medicare card, a list of medications and supplements, and the names of other providers you see. A family member or caregiver is welcome if you would like their help.
If you want to talk about future care wishes, you can also ask about Advanced Care Planning.
