We Accept Medicare and Medicare Advantage
Turning 65, brings new choices, and opportunities, to focus on your health. At Lincoln Family Medicine Center, we welcome patients with Medicare insurance: original Medicare and Medicare Advantage plans. Our experienced primary care providers take the time to help you understand and make the most of the benefits available to you, ensuring nothing important is missed.
As you get older, regular check-ups and preventive screenings become even more important. One benefit of an annual wellness visit is that there is no cost and no copay to Medicare patients. These visits are focused on prevention, ensure individuals are aging safely, and allow us to intervene early on with health conditions before treatment is needed.
Care Centered on You
Our providers value relationships built on trust and experience. At each visit, we take time to listen, update your health information, and discuss any new concerns you may have. Whether it’s your annual wellness visit or another appointment, we work with you, supporting your health and well-being in the years ahead.

Annual wellness visits
