The Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a Medicare-covered visit with your healthcare provider to promote wellbeing. It is not a physical exam, but a chance to talk to your provider about how you can improve or maintain your overall health. During the visit, your healthcare provider will conduct routine health screenings to identify possible medical conditions in the early stages and will create or update a personalized prevention plan designed to keep you as healthy as possible. Medicare covers a number of preventive services (including, but no limited to shots, tests for medical conditions, and counseling) at no cost to you. The AWV is the time to find out which of these services would be beneficial to you. The AWV is especially important now, since many people were unable to visit their healthcare providers during the pandemic.
