Annual physical and wellness visits

Good health starts with prevention, and preventive care should start early in the year, by scheduling your annual physical and wellness visits.

What’s the difference?

  • A physical is a head-to-toe exam, blood sugar test and cholesterol test. It’s a good time to review your medications and/or health concerns.
  • A wellness visit includes a blood pressure check, height and weight measurement and body mass index (BMI) test.

What’s the plan?

  • Your plan covers services that promote good health and earlier disease detection2, including:
    • Well Child
    • Well Woman
    • Adult Preventive exam
    • Immunizations
    • Age-appropriate screenings
  • You can ask your doctor to combine the visits into one convenient annual care appointment.2
  • You and your doctor can work as a team to create a preventive care plan for the year.
