Health & Wellness – Make Summer Your Check‑Up Time

Summer is a great season to put your health first! It’s a perfect time to get that free wellness visit, catch up on important shots, and have basic health screenings done—all of which can keep you strong, safe, and feeling your best through the warm months ahead.

✅ 1. Annual Wellness Visit – Free and Important

Medicare covers one free yearly wellness visit under Part B (after your first year on coverage). This visit isn’t a full physical, but it helps detect risks and creates a personalized health plan, including checks on blood pressure, weight, memory, and screening schedules. New in 2025, these visits may also include extra support like screening for social needs and alcohol use .

What to do: Call your doctor today and book your summer wellness visit.

💉 2. Vaccines to Stay Healthy

Staying current on shots can prevent serious illnesses:

• Flu, pneumonia, shingles, COVID‑19, RSV are all now covered by Medicare—no out-of-pocket cost 

• RSV shots are especially helpful for people aged 65+ to avoid hospital stays 

• Getting multiple shots at once (like flu, COVID‑19, and RSV) is safe and easy

What to do: Talk to your doctor or local pharmacy about scheduling these shots this summer.

🔍 3. Basic Health Checks Save Lives

A few simple tests can make a big difference:

• Blood pressure and cholesterol tests help monitor heart health

• Vision and hearing checks identify treatable issues

• Bone density, diabetes, and cancer screenings, like colon cancer, are covered by Medicare
