CMS has developed resources to help providers deliver the Welcome to Medicare Exam. Links for these resources can be found in the Downloads section of this webpage. The ABC's of Providing the Initial Preventive Physical Examination (January 2009) quick reference information resource is now available in downloadable format. This handy reference tool can be used by Medicare fee-for-service physicians and qualified non-physician practitioners as a guide when providing the initial preventive physical examination (IPPE) (also known as the "Welcome to Medicare" Physical Exam or the "Welcome to Medicare" Visit). The two-sided reference identifies the components and elements of the IPPE; provides eligibility requirements, procedure codes to use when filing claims, FAQs, and suggestions for preparing patients for the IPPE; and lists references for additional information. The Medicare Preventive Services (January 2009) Quick Reference Information resource is now available in downloadable format. This two-sided resource gives Medicare fee-for-service physicians, providers, suppliers, and other health care professionals a quick reference to Medicare's preventive services.
The Expanded Benefits Brochure (January 2009) is now available in downloadable format. This tri-fold brochure provides health care professionals with an overview of Medicare's coverage of three preventive services: the initial preventive physical examination (IPPE), also known as the Welcome to "Medicare Physical" Exam or the "Welcome to Medicare" visit, ultrasound screening for abdominal aortic aneurysms, and cardiovascular screening blood tests.
