"Medicare wants you to remember your wellness visit and get your blood pressure checked.\nBelieve it or not, Medicare cares about your blood pressure.\nIn an email sent this week, Medicare.gov says:\nIt’s important for you to know your current blood pressure numbers, even when you’re feeling fine. High blood pressure usually has no signs or symptoms, but it can lead to a higher risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney failure.\nSince when does Medicare care about preventing these dire results? Probably since it figured out that, by preventing disease, it will prevent costly treatment. This can help control its skyrocketing medical reimbursement costs.\nBut, the important thing is that prevention is really good for you.

If you are not taking advantage of this benefit, start now!\n........"
