Medicare wellness visits are a vital requirement for Medicare patients, designed to promote and maintain their overall well-being through annual check-ups. At Reagan Medical Center, we facilitate these comprehensive wellness exams either by appointment or as walk-ins, providing flexible options to meet our patients' needs.
During the wellness visit, our team thoroughly reviews the patient's medical history and conducts a full physical examination. Essential components of the visit include necessary blood work and other ancillary tests such as EKGs and X-rays, tailored to the individual’s health status and age. We also ensure that age-appropriate vaccines, such as shingles, human papillomavirus (HPV), are ordered according to Medicare's recommendations.
Additionally, the visit includes a detailed discussion about any existing medical conditions and family health history, which helps in ordering appropriate tests to detect potential future diseases based on hereditary factors or current health status. We also review any pending screenings, such as colonoscopies or mammograms, to ensure that all recommended preventive measures are up to date. This comprehensive approach not only adheres to Medicare's requirements but also supports proactive healthcare management for our patients.
