Written by Wellsource | May 4, 2016 5:29:32 PM

Medicare is a reminder to the Baby Boomer generation they are getting older. Did you know that on average 10,000 people enroll in Medicare a day?

Getting older inherently means more health risks, and it can cost more than $12,000 a year to treat each Medicare patient.1 But there’s hope for improving quality of care and preventing some of the costs before they even occur.

That’s where the Annual Wellness Visit with a Medicare-focused Health Risk Assessment comes in.

Check out this infographic (click to enlarge) to discover where the highest Medicare costs are and how Annual Wellness Visits with an evidence-based Medicare HRA can enable you to reduce costs and care for seniors like they were meant to be.
