Many seniors stay on the same plan for years without realizing their doctors or medications are no longer covered—or that better options exist.

Every year, plans change. Benefits shift. Networks update.

That’s why reviewing your Medicare coverage annually is not optional.
And we’re here to help.

One of the smartest things you can do early in the year is stay up to date on preventive screenings.

Many health issues—especially in adults over 65—are most treatable when caught early.

February is a great time to schedule:

✔ Mammograms
✔ Colon cancer screenings
✔ Bone density testing
✔ Routine labs and wellness visits

Think of it as “closing your care gaps” before the year gets busy.

At our practice, we focus on prevention, early detection, and helping patients stay healthy—not just treating problems after they happen.

📞 Call our office and let’s make sure you’re on track.

February is Heart Health Month—and your heart deserves attention.

High blood pressure and heart disease often develop quietly, without obvious symptoms… until they become serious.

That’s why February is a great time to schedule a quick cardiovascular check-in, especially if you:

❤️ Have a history of hypertension
❤️ Take heart medications
❤️ Have diabetes or high cholesterol
❤️ Want to stay active and independent long-term

A simple blood pressure visit can be one of the most powerful preventive steps you take all year.

Strong primary care protects more than your health—it protects your life.

📞 Call today to schedule your heart health appointment.

If you’re on Medicare, one of the most important appointments you can schedule is your Annual Wellness Visit—a dedicated visit focused on prevention, planning, and staying ahead of future health concerns.

This isn’t a rushed sick visit. It’s your opportunity to:

✔ Review your overall health
✔ Catch important screenings early
✔ Discuss medications and risk factors

The best healthcare is proactive—not reactive. And small check-ins now can prevent big problems later.

Healthy feet keep you moving and independent. This week, inspect your feet for sores, swelling, or changes in color—especially if you have diabetes.

Think Medicare Covers Everything? Think Again.
Medicare doesn’t always include:

Routine dental or vision
Transportation to appointments
Hearing aids
Prescription drug coverage (unless you choose a Part D or Advantage plan)

That’s why it’s important to work with a doctor’s office that understands these gaps—and helps you fill them.

At Suncoast Family Medical Associates, we help you get the most out of your Medicare plan—and make sure nothing important falls through the cracks.
