WELL Seniors Act of 2025

The WELL Seniors Act of 2025 expands Medicare's annual wellness visit program to better address seniors' health and social needs. It requires screenings for fall risk and assessments of food security, housing, transportation, and social support, with providers receiving a 10% payment incentive for including at least two additional elements beyond standard care. The bill also allows these visits to be provided via telehealth and adds physical therapists, occupational therapists, and pharmacists as eligible providers starting in 2026. Additionally, it mandates a national education campaign and research study to improve uptake, particularly for low-income and rural seniors.
