What Is A Medicare Annual Wellness Exam?
Individuals covered by Medicare Part B for at least a year will need to undergo a Medicare Annual Wellness Exam. It serves as a preventive measure to detect potential health issues early and discuss preventive strategies to maintain good health. The Annual Wellness Exam differs from a routine physical exam because it focuses on preventing and diagnosing diseases, rather than your physical health from head to toe. In most cases, this exam is fully covered by Medicare once a year. To schedule your Medicare Annual Wellness Exam at Tri-County Primary Care, contact our location in Winston-Salem, NC today.
How Is A Medicare Annual Wellness Exam Performed?
Your Medicare Annual Wellness Exam will take place at Tri-County Primary Care in one of our private exam rooms. Before your exam, you will be asked to fill out a questionnaire that will help your provider assess your current health and evaluate any risk factors for disease. During the exam, your provider will review your medical history and current medications. Your blood pressure, height, weight, and other basic health indicators will also be recorded. Screenings, such as those for hearing loss, cognitive impairments, and fall risks, may also be performed. Based on your thorough assessment, your provider will discuss any necessary treatments, along with personalized health advice to safeguard your health.

I love this small private practice! What a treat to walk in and see familiar faces who know me. When you need an appointment or a refill, it is dealt with promptly.

He is so friendly and knowledgeable ! - Dr. Kilby , Mekesha and Sterling are all great providers to see ! They are well educated and take the time to listen to your needs . I highly recommend them and their sweet staff members !
The providers and staff members at this office do a great job at listening rather than rushing in and out of the room. They are all very knowledgeable and go the extra mile. I would highly recommend seeing them!
