Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
A preventive care benefit that is covered by Medicare at no expense to you and you are not subject to any deductibles, co-insurance or co-payments.
If you are insured by Medicare, you are eligible for a benefit called the Annual Wellness Visit that will help you and your healthcare team develop/update a personalized health plan:
- Medicare will pay for a Wellness Visit every 365 days
- Helps prevent disease and disability based upon your current health and risk factors
- We will ask you a few questions that are a part of a “Health Risk Assessment”
- Medicare will also pay for most preventive screening services you might need after your Annual Wellness Visit.
- When you call your local Medical Associates of Marlboro office, tell them that you would like to schedule your Annual Wellness Visit. Our professional staff will schedule, help plan, and answer any of your concerns before your upcoming Annual Wellness Visit
Medicare Chronic Care Management
Medicare is now providing eligible patients with Chronic Care Management services. Patients are eligible for this benefit if they have multiple (two or more) chronic conditions that are expected to least 12 months or longer.
The chronic care management benefit will ensure our patients 24-hour-a-day, 7-day-a-week non-face-to-face access to their primary care team, which includes MAOM physicians and other staff members, via telephone. Your primary care team will now be able to carefully monitor and provide comprehensive care for your chronic health conditions in a systematic way to supplement regular office visit care. We can help coordinate your visits with MAOM doctors, facilities, labs, and radiology; we can talk to you on the phone about your symptoms, help manage your medications, and we will provide you with a comprehensive care plan catered to your needs.
Medicare will allow us to bill for these services during any calendar month when we have provided non-face-to-face care for you and your conditions. Please understand this service also requires you to pay your Medicare deductible and co-insurance.
