WELL Seniors Act of 2025

This bill changes the Medicare annual wellness visit. It adds screening for mobility, food security, housing security, transportation access, social support, and other social factors affecting health, plus balance screening to identify fall risk, starting January 1, 2026. Providers would receive an extra 10 percent payment when a visit includes the social factors screening and at least two other listed elements. The bill also allows wellness visits by telehealth, lets physical therapists, occupational therapists, and pharmacists provide the visits, and requires a national outreach campaign, updated follow-up guidance, a report, and a focus group study on use of the visits.
