For new clients please schedule a discovery call before booking an appointment (excludes salt and sauna – go ahead and make those appointments!)
If you’re 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare, you’re eligible for a yearly Medicare Annual Wellness Visits (AWV), but many clinics either don’t offer them or rush through the process. At FMP, we take the time to do it right.
This once-per-year appointment is covered by Medicare and includes:
Prior to your appointment, you’ll be asked to complete a health questionnaire and provide documentation of your most recent preventive screenings – such as DEXA scans, vaccinations, colonoscopy, or cardiac stress testing – as well as a note from your last primary care visit.
You must have a designated primary care provider (PCP) – a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant you see for routine care – to qualify for this service.
A summary of your visit will be shared with your PCP, and FMP will bill Medicare directly.
Important: There is a limited physical exam and it does not include labs, prescriptions, or new diagnoses. It is a planning visit, not a problem-focused medical visit.
Too often, older adults find themselves in appointments that focus only on what’s going wrong. The Annual Wellness Visits shifts the conversation toward prevention and proactive care.
