Understanding Your Annual

Annual exams (also called wellness exams or routine physicals) have a specific purpose. They address how to prevent future health problems. The purpose is to identify potential risks and find out how to generally maintain good health. Certain vaccines and screenings may be included. Many insurance plans cover 100% of an annual exam because it is preventative care. 

Office visits address how to treat existing health problems. The purpose is to discuss or get treated for a specific medical issue. Office visits are subject to your deductible, copay, or coinsurance because they are acute care.

If you need to discuss any new or existing symptoms or problems, we will gladly combine your annual with an office visit at time of service, subject to deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
