Individuals enrolled in Medicare Part B benefit from complete coverage for their Medicare Annual Wellness Visits. In other words, if you seek services from a healthcare provider who participates in Medicare, your cost is zero. Your physician, healthcare provider, or medical supplier agrees to an assignment contract with Medicare, wherein they accept Medicare’s approved payment for the service and agree not to charge you beyond the Medicare deductible and copayment. The deductible for Part B is waived for these visits, meaning you’re not liable for any expenses out-of-pocket.
Nevertheless, you should be prepared to incur some copayment or coinsurance fees, as well as any unfulfilled part of your Part B deductible if:
– Your medical practitioner conducts any tests or offers services related to the management of a current condition or medical concern.
– During your Wellness Visit, your healthcare practitioner recommends any additional preventive services or follow-up tests.
