Annual Medicare Wellness Visits give you a full picture of your health, along with personalized guidance that helps you stay well, avoid preventable hospital visits, and stay on top of your medical needs — all closer to where you live without the hassle of travel.
At Medical Center of Dimmitt, your Annual Medicare Wellness Visit includes:
1. Preventive care first
These visits are built around prevention. Early detection allows our providers to act before small issues become serious. Based on your health history and risk factors, we may recommend screenings, tests, or immunizations designed to help you stay healthy and independent.
2. A thorough medication review
Your provider will go through each medication you’re taking, checking for accuracy, effectiveness, and potential interactions. It’s also your chance to ask questions and talk openly about any concerns.
3. Time to build a stronger patient-provider relationship
We dedicate an entire hour to your Annual Medicare Wellness Visit so you can have an unhurried, meaningful conversation with your provider. This time helps build trust—an essential foundation for good health care.
4. A review of home safety
Falls and home hazards are a major risk for older adults. Our team walks through basic home-safety considerations with you, including smoke detectors, carbon-monoxide alarms, and other safety measures that support long-term independence.
5. Screening for depression and emotional health
Your mental and emotional health matters just as much as your physical health. We include a discussion around your mental health to review your potential risk for depression.
