AFA Fireside Chat: Understanding the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit: What You Need to Know
May 17 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm EDT
Early detection of memory issues is essential. Medicare recipients are entitled to a cognitive screening as part of their Annual Wellness Visit, but many are unaware of this benefit. This episode will discuss what people need to know about this benefit; how they can take advantage of it; the importance of memory screening and early detection of cognitive impairment; and how individuals who are not on Medicare can get a memory screening.
