Medicare Physicals
If you are enrolled in Medicare, you may qualify for yearly wellness visits, also known as Annual Wellness Visits (AWVs), which are designed to help prevent illness and support long-term health management. These visits allow your healthcare provider to create or update a personalized prevention and wellness plan based on your current health needs and risk factors.
While Annual Wellness Visits are an important part of preventive care, they are different from comprehensive physical exams. An AWV focuses on health screenings, risk assessments, and preventive planning rather than a full head-to-toe physical examination. Medicare Part B typically covers these wellness visits for eligible patients.
At Riverside Primary Care Doctors Inc, our healthcare team provides personalized wellness evaluations and preventive care tailored to each patient’s unique medical history and health goals. We are committed to helping patients stay proactive about their health through routine monitoring, preventive screenings, and ongoing medical support.
