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 visit.
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 one physical exam and one wellness visit per calendar year
- You can ask your provider to combine the visits into one convenient annual care appointment*
- You and your provider can work as a team to create a preventive care plan for the year
