Annual Medicare wellness visits available for Medical Group Practice patients

Lucia Lintner, NP, and Sonya Rouleau, NP, provide annual Medicare wellness visits to Medical Group Practice patients which focus on a combination of health care and preventive care in the form of screenings for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, osteoporosis and depression, along with dispersal of immunizations and referrals.

After screenings, a review of medical and social history, an assessment of their vision and hearing, and a cognitive test, patients are given a written preventative services plan to combat chronic disease management and guide patients towards a healthy lifestyle. Providers who see patients that visit a Medical Group Practice should encourage them to have a Medicare wellness exam.
