Medicare Wellness Visits: Get Your Clients Off to a Healthy Start
The New Year is the perfect time to get your clients off to a healthy start by recommending Medicare wellness visits. Medicare covers 2 types of exams:
- Initial preventive physical exam (IPPE) – one-time visit for new Medicare clients within 12 months of first Part B coverage period:
- Review medical and social health history
- Discuss preventative services
2. Annual wellness visit (AWV) – covered for clients who:
- Aren’t within 12 months after their first Part B coverage period’s effective date
- Haven’t had an IPPE or AWV within the past 12 months
Your clients pay nothing if you accept assignment. Find out when your client is eligible for these exams. If you need help, contact your eligibility service provider.
