Navigating Medicare can feel overwhelming, but at Prima Medicine in Fairfax, South Riding, Merrifield, and Tysons, Virginia, we make it simple. Led by Dr. Chethana Rao, our practice specializes in Medicare and geriatric services, offering comprehensive care for seniors, including Medicare enrollment assistance, annual wellness visits, chronic disease management, and preventive care.
At Prima Medicine, we help patients navigate the enrollment process, whether you’re approaching age 65, retiring, or experiencing a qualifying life event. Our team can explain the differences between Original Medicare (Parts A and B), Medicare Advantage plans, and supplemental coverage options to help you choose the plan that best fits your healthcare needs and budget.
We’ll walk you through enrollment periods, including Initial Enrollment, General Enrollment, and Special Enrollment, ensuring you understand deadlines and requirements. Our staff can also assist with questions about prescription drug coverage (Part D) and help you compare plans available in Virginia. Once enrolled, we’ll verify your coverage and ensure seamless coordination of your care.
Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
Medicare covers an Annual Wellness Visit at no cost to you, and it’s one of the most valuable preventive benefits available. During your wellness visit at Prima Medicine, Dr. Rao conducts a comprehensive health assessment, including a review of your medical history, current medications, and any health concerns. We’ll develop or update your personalized prevention plan, screen for cognitive impairment, assess fall risk, and discuss advance care planning.
This visit is different from a routine physical exam—it focuses on prevention and keeping you healthy. We’ll identify health risk factors, recommend appropriate screenings like mammograms or colonoscopies, and discuss lifestyle modifications to improve your overall wellness. Our goal is to catch potential health issues early and help you maintain your independence and quality of life.
