Medicare Annual Wellness Visits in Phoenix & Scottsdale

What is a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit?

A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit focuses on a prevention plan based on your health history and risks. It is different from a routine physical exam. The visit can include a review of your history, medications, routine measurements, and preventive-care needs. For eligibility and coverage details, see Medicare.gov.

Request the appointment that matches your needs

When calling Internal Medicine AZ, say that you are asking about a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit. If you also need help with symptoms, medication changes, or a chronic condition, let the scheduling team know. Additional services can have separate costs. Our team can help clarify the appointment type and check your plan information before your visit.

What to bring

Bring your Medicare and other insurance cards, identification, medication and supplement lists, and information about care received elsewhere. A written list of questions helps you focus the conversation. If you have recent screening or vaccination records, bring those as well. Our patient forms page includes paperwork for new patients and updates to existing patient information.

A starting point for ongoing care

Preventive planning works best when your provider knows your history. Internal Medicine AZ offers adult primary care, chronic-condition management, diabetes care, and geriatric medicine through two Valley offices. You can explore the provider directory before calling, or ask the office which providers have availability for your needs.

Wellness visit or annual physical?

These appointments are not interchangeable. A wellness visit emphasizes prevention planning; a routine physical is a different service. Ask which appointment you are booking and what your plan covers. Visit our annual-physical pages for Phoenix and Scottsdale for practice information.
