Health Risk Assessment

At Concierge Internal Medicine Associates, we believe that proactive care leads to better outcomes. One of the most effective tools we use to help patients understand and manage their health is the Health Risk Assessment (HRA). This short but powerful evaluation is a cornerstone of preventive care—especially for Medicare patients—and can help uncover health risks before they become more serious problems.

What is a Health Risk Assessment?

A Health Risk Assessment is a structured questionnaire designed to evaluate your current health status, personal and family medical history, lifestyle habits, and potential health risks. This assessment is typically offered as part of your Medicare Annual Wellness Visit, and it provides a valuable snapshot that helps guide your care plan going forward.

Why It Matters

Many chronic conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or heart disease can develop silently. The HRA helps our team identify areas of concern early so that we can work together to keep you healthy and out of the hospital. It also helps us tailor your care to your unique needs, whether that means scheduling preventive screenings, adjusting medications, or supporting lifestyle changes.

The Benefits of Completing an HRA

  • Early Identification of Health Risks: Find out what may be impacting your health—before symptoms begin.
  • Customized Care Planning: We use your responses to create a care plan that’s designed specifically for you.
  • Improved Communication: An HRA opens the door to better conversations with your doctor and clinical team.
  • Better Long-Term Outcomes: Patients who participate in regular assessments and follow-up care tend to experience fewer hospitalizations and enjoy better overall health.

Choosing the Right Doctor: Why It’s About More Than Just Experience

Choosing the Right Doctor for Your Medical Care

Selecting the right physician is a critical decision that impacts your overall health, quality of life, and long-term wellness. While board certifications and years of clinical experience are important, today’s healthcare environment demands more than just credentials. Patients need a doctor who understands how to coordinate care, communicate effectively, and advocate on their behalf. The ability to connect patients to timely services, reduce unnecessary hospital visits, and provide guidance through a complex medical system is what truly defines exceptional care.

Care Coordination and Sub-Specialist Access Matters

One of the key roles of an effective primary care physician is to ensure patients have access to the care they need—when they need it. This includes having established relationships with top sub-specialists in fields such as cardiology, endocrinology, pulmonology, and orthopedics. A doctor who can make a phone call and get you seen promptly by a trusted colleague is invaluable. This kind of coordinated care reduces wait times, avoids fragmented treatment, and improves outcomes—especially for patients with complex or chronic medical needs.
