Medicare and Preventive Care: Screenings and Services That Could Save Your Life

When it comes to staying healthy in retirement, prevention is just as important as treatment. Medicare covers a wide range of preventive care services, such as screenings and annual check-ups, that can help detect health problems early, when they are most treatable. Taking advantage of these coverage could quite literally save your life.

 

The Importance of Preventive Care

Preventive care is designed to catch potential health issues before they become serious. Many conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, and heart disease, often develop silently. By identifying risks early, you can make lifestyle changes or begin treatment before complications arise.

 

What Medicare Covers

Medicare Part B includes coverage for many essential preventive services at no cost to you, as long as you visit a participating provider. Some of the most important include:

  • Annual Wellness Visit: A yearly check-in with your doctor to review your health, medications, and risk factors.
  • Cancer Screenings: Screenings for breast, cervical, colorectal, prostate, and lung cancer.
  • Cardiovascular Screenings: Tests that check cholesterol and other risk factors for heart disease.
  • Diabetes Screenings: Especially important if you have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or a family history of diabetes.
  • Depression and Mental Health Screenings: Because mental well-being is just as critical as physical health.

 

Why You Shouldn’t Delay

Preventive services aren’t just about adding years to your life; they’re about adding quality to those years. Staying proactive with your health can mean fewer hospital visits, lower medical bills, and more energy to enjoy your retirement.

 

Take Control of Your Health

Medicare gives you the tools to stay on top of your well-being. The next step is up to you! Schedule your screenings, attend your wellness visits, and stay current on preventive care.

Over the last twenty years as an insurance agency owner (now retired) I have helped families throughout Michigan with their personal insurance needs. When turning 65 myself and transitioning to Medicare, I saw how confusing it can be. Loving to help people and not wanting to fully retire, I decided that I would now specialize in Medicare insurance plans. As an independent agent, I represent a great selection of healthcare insurance companies offering Medicare plans here in Michigan.

Medicare is certainly not one size fits all, I love helping other folks just like me. I take the time necessary to answer questions and address concerns so that my clients are well informed and comfortable in choosing the right plan. Be it Medicare Supplement, Advantage, and/or Prescription Drug plan.

With kids all grown now, I work from home, with Kimberly and our Chocolate Lab Jax. Winters we try to spend a little time in Florida or California with family and friends. During Michigan summers, we enjoy taking trips on our Harley Motorcycle, or attending car shows with our 1999 Miata 10th Anniversary convertible.

I look forward to working with you!
