A Yearly Visit to Plan Your Preventive Care
The Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly planning visit for people on Medicare: you and Tabitha look at your health, your risks and your medications, and set a schedule for the screenings you need over the next several years.
Tabitha knows this visit well. Before moving to the Tri-Cities, she was a Medicare Wellness specialist with Healthcare Partners of Nevada.
