An annual wellness visit is one of the most important things you can do for your health. And if you’ve had Medicare Part B for longer than 12 months, you are eligible to receive an annual wellness visit at no cost to you.

Are you new to Medicare? Then you are eligible for a one-time, preventive wellness visit within the first 12 months that you have Part B. Click here for details.

You and your doctor can discuss your medical history, review your current health and medications, and get routine measurements such as blood pressure and height. This will guide your doctor in working with you to help prevent disease and improve your health.

River Region now has a Medicare Wellness Nurse, Neva Price, who is solely dedicated to providing annual wellness visit services. Neva is conducting annual Medicare Wellness exams in her office at the Street Clinic. During the exams Neva determines what testing/procedures each patient might need as approved by the Medicare Wellness guidelines.  If you or someone you know is on Medicare, call Neva at 601-883-3328, for more information or to schedule a visit.

Take action now to protect your health. Call to schedule your wellness visit today by calling our Medicare Wellness nurse, at 601-883-3328 , or contact your Primary Care Physician. Don't have a Primary Care Physician? See below for a complete listing of River Region's Primary Care Physicians.
