Are you taking advantage of your Free Annual Wellness Visit? If not, why not? One item you can discuss with your doctor on this visit is your end-of-life initiatives, such as Medical Power of Attorney, Advanced Directives, Living Will, and HIPPA Release. Here is some info on Medicare Plan B's program:

Yearly "Wellness" visits: If you've had Part B for longer than 12 months, you can get this visit to develop or update a personalized prevention help plan to prevent disease and disability based on your current health and risk factors. Your provider will ask you to fill out a questionnaire, called a “Health Risk Assessment,” as part of this visit. Answering these questions can help you and your provider develop a personalized prevention plan to help you stay healthy and get the most out of your visit. It also includes:

• A review of your medical and family history

• Developing or updating a list of current providers and prescriptions

• Height, weight, blood pressure, and other routine measurements

• Detection of any cognitive impairment

• Personalized health advice

• A list of risk factors and treatment options for you

• A screening schedule (like a checklist) for appropriate preventive services. Get details about coverage for screenings, shots, and other preventive services.
