Preventive Services Covered by Medicare

Doctor explaining preventive service covered by medicade

Preventive services are an important component of a living a healthy lifestyle. Preventive services include things like exams, shots, screenings, and lab tests. They may also include health monitoring, counseling and education programs.

Medicare Part B covers an annual Wellness visit and several other preventive services. If you register at MyMedicare.gov, you can track your preventive services, receive a calendar of the Medicare-covered tests and screenings you’re eligible for, and print a personalized on-the-go report to take to your doctor appointments.

Preventive services that may be covered by Medicare Part B include:

  • Abdominal aortic aneurysm screening
  • Alcohol misuse screening and counseling
  • Bone mass measurements
  • Breast cancer screening (mammograms)
  • Cardiovascular disease (behavioral therapy)
  • Cardiovascular disease screening
  • Cervical and vaginal cancer screening
  • Colorectal cancer screening
  • Depression screening
  • Diabetes screening and self-management training
  • Glaucoma tests
  • Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection screening
  • Hepatitis C screening test
  • HIV screening
  • Lung cancer screening
  • Medical nutrition therapy
  • Medicare Diabetes Prevention Program
  • Obesity screening and counseling
  • Prostate cancer screening
  • Sexually transmitted infection screenings and counseling
  • Shots (COVID-19, flu, pneumococcal, Hepatitis B)
  • Smoking and tobacco use cessation counseling
  • “Welcome to Medicare” preventive visit
  • Yearly “Wellness” visit
