Aging can be challenging, but understanding your health doesn't have to be. Two simple assessments. Five minutes. A clearer picture of your well-being. Your personal report is private, easy to read, and fully covered by Medicare.
The M3 Checklist (mental well-being) and the PEG Pain Scale (pain impact) are standard medical tools used to assess overall health. Together they take less than five minutes and help you understand how you’re doing overall. Your results are sent directly to you and are covered by your Medicare benefits.
Take the M3 Checklist to assess mood, anxiety, and daily function in just a few minutes. It's a quick way to check in on your emotional health and identify potential risks like depression or anxiety early.
Complete the PEG Pain Scale to understand how physical discomfort impacts your daily life. Mood and pain are often connected; treating one can often help improve the other.
