What is a Medicare Wellness Assessment?
This is a benefit that Medicare provides to patients who have Medicare primary insurance. They are conducted by a dedicated
Medical Wellness Provider at Austin Regional Clinic.
At these visits you can expect a review of your health that includes the following:
- Vaccinations
- Cancer screenings
- Heart and diabetic screenings when indicated
- Gait and fall risk
- Osteoporosis screening
For more information about these assessments, please visit the
medicare.gov website.
Scheduling your Appointment
Call 512-421-4881 to schedule you Medicare Wellness Assessments. You will receive an automated reminder call two days before the appointment.
What is the cost to me?
Medicare provides this benefit at no cost to the patient. You are eligible for this assessment every 365 days.
If your doctor or other health care provider performs additional tests or services during the same visit that aren’t covered under these preventive benefits, you may have to pay a coinsurance, and the Part B deductible may apply.
The majority of these wellness assessments, however, do not involve additional testing or services. Generally if you require these additional tests, we will make an appointment for you with your primary care provider to address your additional healthcare needs.
