Make Time for the Health Questions That Often Get Missed
A wellness visit creates dedicated time to step back and look at your health as a whole. Instead of focusing only on an immediate illness, the appointment can address family history, medications, lifestyle, preventive screenings, vaccinations, emotional well-being, and risks that may not yet be causing noticeable symptoms.
Your Preventive Health Review
What Can a Wellness Exam Include?
The exact components of your appointment depend on your age, medical history, insurance benefit, current health, and individual risk factors.
Vital Signs and Measurements
Measurements such as blood pressure, weight, and other appropriate health indicators can help identify changes and guide further evaluation when needed.
Medication Review
Prescription medications, over-the-counter products, vitamins, and supplements can be reviewed for correct use, possible interactions, and ongoing relevance.
Screening Recommendations
Your doctor can discuss screenings that may be appropriate based on age, sex, family history, previous results, symptoms, and recognized risk factors.
Personal Wellness Planning
The visit may include practical guidance for nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress, tobacco use, alcohol use, and other habits connected to long-term health.

Looking Beyond How You Feel Today

- Discussion of diabetes and cholesterol screening needs
- Age- and risk-appropriate cancer screening conversation
- Review of vaccination history and possible updates
- Discussion of mental health, memory, sleep, or stress
- Evaluation of safety, mobility, or fall concerns when relevant
After the Appointment
Turning the Visit Into a Practical Health Plan

Questions About Wellness Exams
Understand how wellness visits work, what to bring, and how they differ from appointments for illnesses or specific medical concerns.
Many adults schedule a preventive visit once a year, but the
appropriate timing depends on age, medical history, risk factors,
insurance coverage, and the type of visit being scheduled. The
office can help determine the appropriate appointment category.
Not always. The services included depend on your insurance plan.
For example, a Medicare Annual Wellness Visit focuses on health
risks and developing a preventive-care plan and is not the same
as a comprehensive physical examination. Confirm your benefits
with your insurance provider before the appointment.
Laboratory testing is not automatically required for every
patient. The doctor may recommend tests based on age, medical
history, symptoms, previous results, medications, and health
risks. Coverage for laboratory services varies by insurance plan.
Tell the office about significant concerns when scheduling.
Evaluating a new symptom or managing an existing condition may
require a separate problem-focused service, additional time, or
a follow-up appointment. It may also create a separate insurance
charge depending on your coverage.
Screening recommendations depend on factors such as age, sex,
personal and family history, tobacco exposure, previous test
results, and overall risk. Your doctor can discuss which
screenings may be appropriate and how often they should occur.
It is a prevention-focused Medicare benefit used to create or
update a personalized plan for preventing disease and disability.
It generally includes a health-risk assessment, routine
measurements, medical and medication history, and a preventive
services checklist. It is not a routine physical examination.
Coverage varies by plan and by the type of wellness or physical
examination scheduled. Contact your insurance company and the
practice before your appointment to confirm eligibility,
network participation, covered services, and possible costs.
