Medicare Services at Suwanee Family Physicians
Original Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans cover a comprehensive range of primary care services at Suwanee Family Physicians, including:
- Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) — Medicare covers a fully free Annual Wellness Visit each year for enrolled patients. This is distinct from a routine physical and focuses on creating or updating your personalized prevention plan, reviewing your medications, assessing your risk factors, and discussing health goals. Call us to schedule yours.
- “Welcome to Medicare” Preventive Visit — If you’re new to Medicare, you’re entitled to a one-time Welcome to Medicare visit within the first 12 months of your Part B coverage. This visit establishes a health baseline and helps you understand your preventive benefits.
- Chronic disease management — Many Medicare patients manage multiple chronic conditions including diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, arthritis, and COPD. We provide ongoing medication management, regular monitoring, and care coordination with specialists to help you stay as healthy and independent as possible.
- Preventive screenings — Medicare covers a range of preventive screenings including colorectal cancer screening, diabetes screening, cardiovascular screening, mammograms, bone density scans, and more. We’ll help you stay current on all recommended screenings for your age and health profile.
- Immunizations — Medicare covers flu shots, pneumonia vaccines, COVID-19 vaccines, and other recommended immunizations at no cost to you.
- Prescription management — We review your medications regularly to ensure you’re on the most effective, safest regimen for your conditions. We can also coordinate with your pharmacy and Part D plan for efficient prescription management.
- Telemedicine — Virtual visits billed through Medicare for eligible follow-up appointments and select prescription management needs.
- Lab work and diagnostic testing — In-office labs billed through Medicare or your Medicare Advantage plan.
