Important News for our Medicare & Medicare Advantage Patients
All patients with Medicare are eligible to participate in the following programs offered at no charge by Gulf Coast Medical Center.
Welcome to Medicare Visit
Recently enlisted Medicare beneficiaries are eligible to receive a free Welcome to Medicare preventive health evaluation (also known as the Initial Preventive Physical Examination or IPPE) within the first 12 months of their enrollment. This onetime only visit focuses exclusively on health promotion and disease detection and serves as a great introduction on your road to continued wellness and productivity.
The IPPE includes:
• Assessment of vital signs
• General vision test
• Discussion on the importance of drafting advance directives
• Review of potential health risk factors
• Recommended list of screenings, immunizations, and additional services prepared just for you!
Medicare Annual Wellness Visit
Visit After 12 months of enrollment or one year after your Welcome to Medicare Visit, Medicare beneficiaries receive full coverage for an Annual Wellness Visit. During this examination, we will update your medical record with all pertinent information from the past year; review your history and risk factors for disease; ensure that your medication list is up to date; and provide personalized health advice and counseling.

Important Note: Medicare provides coverage of the AWV and the IPPE at 100%. There is no coinsurance, co-payment or Medicare Part B deductible for these benefits.

What if I have an out-of-network plan or no insurance?
If you have an insurance plan with which Gulf Coast Medical Center is not contracted (usually referred to as an “out-of-network” plan) or you do not have insurance, you will be responsible for payment of all charges on the day of service. Our billing staff are available to assist you in making alternative payment arrangements if necessary.
