Getting an annual physical exam, or well check-up, is important to your overall care. We recommend you come in once a year to screen for various conditions and prevent disease. In fact, most insurance plans encourage it, sometimes with no cost to you!

Note: If you are a Medicare patient, your free Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is different from a physical exam.

What to expect

We will review your medical history and risk factors. Depending on your health, age, gender, health history, your exam may include:

  • Physical exams to check vital signs and health
  • Discussion of diet, exercise, tobacco use or alcohol consumption
  • Screenings for breast or cervical cancer or prostate cancer
  • Blood test or other labs, such as diabetes and cholesterol screenings
  • A referral for other screenings if appropriate, such as a mammogram or colonoscopy, bone density test, or an aortic aneurysm screening
  • You may be offered an update on your vaccines

Limitations: This is a “well” visit only

Your check-up will take the full visit time. There will not be time to discuss illnesses or chronic diseases — and it would not be covered in the cost of the exam.

You will need to schedule another appointment to discuss anything that is not part of a normal annual preventive exam. The following are not included in the annual exam:

  • chronic disease, such as hypertension or diabetes
  • acute health issues like a cold
  • prescription medicine refills

Come prepared: write it down!

Please come prepared with the information in this check list to make the most of your exam and help us better partner in your care.
