Medicare visit guide

Memory questions before a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit.

A Medicare Annual Wellness Visit may include questions about memory and thinking. A baseline can help you prepare for a clearer conversation.

Not a diagnosis. This page is for screening education and visit preparation. Talk with a qualified healthcare professional about results and next steps.

How to prepare.

Bring examples

Specific examples are more useful than “my memory feels worse.”

Ask what is being screened

Screening tools are starting points. Your doctor decides what follow-up makes sense.

Save a baseline

A dated report can help you and your doctor compare later if concerns continue.

Caregiver note.

If you help a parent or partner, support them without entering private health details on public forms. Sit with them while they schedule or prepare if they want that help.

Next step

Get a baseline before your appointment.

If you want a short published memory screen with a report you can bring to a visit, schedule the MCI Screen and review your results with your doctor.
