Annual Wellness Visits


An Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is designed to help you stay healthy. A registered nurse (RN) case manager will review your health history and ask questions about your health and safety. This helps identify any care or screenings you may need. They will create a personalized care plan outlining ways to stay healthy and prevent future health problems which your primary care provider will go over with you. 

This visit is free to you once per year if you have Medicare part B or a Medicare Advantage plan as your primary insurance. 

During the Annual Wellness Visit

  • Take routine measurements like height, weight, and blood pressure.
  • Review your medical and family history.
  • Review your current prescriptions.
  • Discuss future medical treatment wishes and advance directives.
  • Perform cognitive assessment.
Frequently Asked Questions

Any Medicare beneficiary who:

  • Has been receiving Medicare Part B benefits for at least 12 months, and
  • Has not had an initial preventive physical examination (the “Welcome to Medicare” exam) or an AWV within the past 12 months.

Medicare will pay for an Annual Wellness Visit once every 12 months. Medicare Advantage members may have slightly different time frames (i.e. paid for every calendar year).

You pay nothing if your provider accepts assignment. The Medicare Part B deductible does not apply. However, you may have to pay coinsurance, and the Part B deductible may apply if your provider performs additional tests or services during the same visit not covered by this preventive benefit.

You should bring your completed Health Risk Assessment, and a complete list of your medications (including vitamins and over-the-counter drugs) or all your medication bottles for the doctor to review.
