Preventive Care

Medicare covers an Annual Wellness Visit providing Personalized Prevention Plan Services. This wellness visit includes a health risk assessment, a review of past medical and family history, and a review of functional ability to include safety.

Chronic Care Management / Principal Care Management Chronic Care Management (CCM) is a proactive, validated, preventative care service developed by Medicare for patients with two or more chronic conditions. CCM’s goal is to expand access to care, improve patient outcomes, and reduce the cost associated with overall patient care delivery. Patients with Medicare, Medicare Advantage, and replacement plans are eligible for this service, and many commercial payers also support reimbursement of the program. Like CCM, the PCM program is also a transformative care service for patients with chronic conditions, but specifically targeted to patients with a single high-risk or complex chronic condition, which is under the management of the patient’s specialist.
