If you're a Medicare-eligible adult, you're entitled to an Annual Wellness Visit - a health screening with your Primary Care Physician that's paid for by Medicare. This includes a 3-minute screening tool used to detect memory problems and certain related challenges. Whether you're concerned about memory loss or not, your first step should be making an Annual Wellness Visit appointment with your Primary Care Doctor.
Have you seen signs of memory loss or difficulty in thinking or decision making in a loved one? The first step to diagnosis and treatment is a discussion about their memory or thinking concerns with their Primary Care Provider. If certain criteria are met, their doctor can provide a referral to Georgia Memory Net for diagnostic assessments and care planning.
Georgia Memory Net is dedicated to providing healthcare professionals with the resources they need to help diagnose patients experiencing memory loss or cognitive impairments. The network also provides initial support and education while linking patients and care partners with community resources that can provide ongoing support. The first step is your mini-Cog assessment during patients' Annual Wellness Visit, and your referral to a Georgia Memory Net center if appropriate.
HERE FOR EVERYONE
Maybe you’re under 65, not eligible for Medicare, or can’t receive your Annual Wellness Visit for any other reason, but you still have concerns about memory problems or thinking difficulties. You can still talk to your primary care provider to find out if a referral to one of Georgia Memory Net’s Memory Assessment Clinics is right for you.
