Medicare Preventive Services

Medicare preventive services are health screenings and exams covered at no additional cost to help detect or prevent health issues early. They include services like vaccinations, screenings for cancers, cholesterol, and diabetes, as well as wellness visits to review your health and create a personalized prevention plan. These services aim to keep you healthier longer, catch problems early when they are easier to treat, and reduce overall healthcare costs. To receive these benefits, you typically need to schedule and attend the recommended screenings and visits, following Medicare guidelines.
