Personalized Annual Wellness Care Across New Jersey
An Annual Wellness care (visit) is more than a routine checkup; it’s your yearly health plan/review. Covered by most insurance (including Medicare), it’s designed to prevent problems before they start, not just react to them.
Think of it as a full-body and mind check-up: reviewing your health history, tracking changes, setting goals, and catching early signs of issues you might not have noticed yet. No bloodwork, no stress, just a conversation that helps keep you in control of your health.
A Yearly Check-In that Actually Checks Out
This might surprise you that 6 in 10 Americans have at least one chronic disease. If you are noticing signs like fatigue, rising blood pressure, weight changes, or conditions like diabetes or heart disease, your body might be trying to tell you something.
An annual wellness visit helps you catch those early signs before they become concerning health problems. With professional evaluation and personalized plans, we ensure that your health is restored.

Medicare Annual Wellness Visit Explained
The Medicare annual wellness visit is a no-cost service for Medicare Part B recipients. It focuses on preventive care and includes screenings, risk assessment, a review of current medications, and a personalized wellness plan.
Unlike a Medicare annual physical, which may involve lab work and exams, the wellness visit cover is designed to guide long-term care and improve long-term health.
