As communities around the country continue to re-open, you may have questions about when to resume in-person visits with your healthcare providers, and what to expect during a visit. Always check with your doctor to see what’s best for your healthcare needs.
Here are some considerations for in-person visits:
- Don’t put off necessary care, especially if it’s urgent or may lead to complications, such as heart attack or stroke.
- Continue preventive care such as immunizations and cancer screenings.
- Providers and facilities will minimize exposure, so you may experience some changes during your visit.
Visit Medicare.gov to learn more and reach out to your healthcare provider if you have any questions about when and how to seek treatment. Consider telehealth or virtual visits with your doctor if you’re at high risk for complications from COVID-19.
