As we approach the end of 2021, it’s a good time to reflect on what we can do differently in the coming new year. If you’re on Medicare and want to make sure you’re doing all you can to stay healthy, consider scheduling an annual wellness visit in 2022.

This wellness visit, available at no cost to most people on Medicare, can give you a jump-start on your New Year’s resolutions. In addition to the basic health measurements you’d expect, you may also receive a screening for depression and cognitive impairment.

Starting the New Year Well

Working together with your doctor, you’ll create a personalized schedule of preventive services and conduct a health risk assessment that addresses your current needs and modifiable risk factors such as diet and exercise. This is just one of many services offered by Medicare, so take advantage of it!

For what’s not covered by Medicare, though, you can plan on Farm Bureau Health Plans. We offer four Medicare Supplement plans, two Part D prescription drug plans, and a dental and vision plan tailored just for those over 65. To learn more or get a quote today, visit fbhp.com, call (877) 874-8323 or stop into a local Farm Bureau office to meet with one of our knowledgeable representatives.
