Yes. Manatee Primary Care is a Medicare-participating provider in Bradenton, FL. Dr. Milian accepts Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and sees Medicare patients for a full range of primary care services.

If you are on Medicare and looking for a primary care doctor in Bradenton who takes your insurance, accepts new patients, and offers same-day appointments — you are in the right place.

Medicare Part B covers a wide range of primary care services. Here is a breakdown of what is typically covered when you see Dr. Milian:

The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is one of the most valuable benefits available to Medicare beneficiaries — and one of the most underused. It is covered at no cost to you (no copay, no deductible) once per year.

Your Annual Wellness Visit includes:

• Health risk assessment — a review of your medical and family history, current medications, and lifestyle factors
• Personalized prevention plan — a written plan outlining the screenings, vaccinations, and preventive services recommended for you
• Cognitive screening — a brief assessment to detect early signs of memory loss or dementia
• Depression screening
• Blood pressure, height, weight, and BMI measurement
• Advance care planning — a conversation about your healthcare wishes and goals
• Referrals to any specialists or services identified during the visit

Important: The Annual Wellness Visit is different from a traditional physical exam. It focuses on prevention and planning, not the diagnosis or treatment of existing conditions. If you want a comprehensive physical that includes lab work and treatment of chronic conditions, that is a separate visit — and may involve a copay depending on your plan.

Medicare covers many preventive screenings at 100% when ordered by a participating provider. These include:

• Cardiovascular disease screenings — cholesterol, lipid panel
• Diabetes screening — fasting blood glucose for at-risk patients
• Colorectal cancer screening — colonoscopy, stool tests
• Mammography — annual screening mammogram for women 40+
• Bone density scan — for women at risk for osteoporosis
• Lung cancer screening — low-dose CT for high-risk smokers
• Depression screening
• Alcohol misuse counseling
• Obesity counseling

If you have a chronic condition like diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, COPD, or thyroid disease, Medicare Part B covers the ongoing management of those conditions. This includes office visits, lab work, medication management, and patient education.

Medicare covers telehealth visits for established patients. If you need a follow-up, medication refill, or chronic care check-in and prefer not to come into the office, we can see you virtually.

This is one of the most common questions we hear from Medicare patients. Here is the key difference:

Many patients benefit from scheduling both — the AWV for the prevention planning component, and a separate comprehensive visit to address chronic conditions and lab results.

We accept Original Medicare (Parts A and B). For Medicare Advantage plans (Part C), coverage depends on the specific plan and network. Please call our office at (941) 867-9362 to verify whether your specific Medicare Advantage plan is accepted before scheduling.

Self-pay patients are welcome at $85 for an initial visit and $60 for follow-up visits.
