Annual Wellness Visits

Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs) are preventive health check-ups offered by healthcare providers, typically for Medicare beneficiaries. During an AWV, a doctor conducts a comprehensive assessment of your health, reviews your medical history, and creates a personalized prevention plan. This visit focuses on identifying potential health risks, discussing lifestyle changes, and coordinating necessary screenings or vaccinations. Unlike routine check-ups for specific illnesses, AWVs emphasize overall health management and proactive care to help maintain well-being as you age. These visits aim to catch issues early, ensuring you stay healthier longer.
