Take advantage of Medicare's preventive services

Spring—a perfect time to renew your commitment to better health and practice preventive care. And Medicare can help. Medicare gives you access to a variety of preventive tests and screenings, most at no cost to you. In addition to yearly wellness visits, Medicare covers screening tests for diabetes, colon cancer, breast cancer, osteoporosis, heart disease, and obesity management—just to name a few. Preventive services can help keep you from getting sick, and can help you find health problems early, when treatment works best. Taking advantage of them is a proactive step in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Start your spring by practicing preventive care, so you can stay healthy throughout the year. Visit Medicare.gov to see a complete list of Medicare-covered preventive services. Sincerely, The Medicare Team
