We recommend that all adults come in at least yearly for a health maintenance evaluation that includes blood pressure and physical evaluation, discussion on healthy diet and exercise along with weight loss counseling if necessary, and a review of needed labs and vaccines. Most insurances encourage and cover one “physical” a year.
For patients on Medicare, an annual “Medicare Wellness” visit is fully covered and includes evaluation for problems specific for seniors.
Patients new to Medicare may qualify for a “Welcome to Medicare” visit that includes a free baseline EKG.
