Podcast: Staying Healthy in the New Year
Rand: From the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, I’m Rand
Gardner with Healthcare 411. Information for better health.
As the New Year approaches, it’s a good time to start thinking about how to stay
healthy in 2013. And if you’re covered by Medicare, you may be eligible for some
of the new benefits provided under the Affordable Care Act.
More from AHRQ director Dr. Carolyn Clancy:
Dr. Clancy: If you’re new to Medicare, you may be eligible for a "Welcome
to Medicare" wellness visit, at no cost to you. With this visit, your doctor
will get a good picture of your overall health, and can offer educational
information to help you improve your health. Yearly wellness visits are also
covered. And, a wide range of no-cost preventive and screening tests are
available under the health care law.
Rand: For more on benefits available for Medicare recipients, visit The
Director’s Corner at ahrq.gov. Healthcare 411 is a production of the U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services.
