Why are annual wellness exams important for your health?

Your annual wellness exam is a preventive treatment that can help you avoid many diseases by evaluating your health, risk factors, and biomarkers. With routine, yearly exams, your provider can detect subtle changes that may indicate potential problems and provide treatment that can stop them from worsening.

During an annual preventive exam, you’ll also have time to talk with your provider and ask questions about any symptoms or health issues you are experiencing. Whether you need help with weight loss, smoking cessation, anxiety, or depression, this is your time to get the support you need to maintain your health and wellness.

Most health insurance providers cover annual wellness exams. Medicare Part B also pays for yearly wellness visits and many essential services and tests.

What should I expect during an annual wellness exam?

At NEXXUS Level Primary Care, your virtual annual exam begins with a review of your medical history. Then your vitals are taken, such as your weight, blood pressure, and heart rate. Then Constance performs a thorough wellness exam. 

Services performed during yearly health exams include:

• Vision and hearing tests
• Chronic disease risk assessments
• Diet and exercise counseling
• Medication management
• Anxiety and depression management

Constance may also order routine blood tests to check for signs of diabetes, high cholesterol, and inflammation. Other lab tests may be needed depending on any concerns that arise during your physical exam.

What health screenings should I receive?

Healthcare screenings are recommended at certain ages when your risk for developing specific diseases increases. Constance may recommend more frequent screenings if you’re at a higher risk for a specific health condition.

All men and women should receive screenings at the appropriate time for health problems, such as:

• Osteoporosis
• Colorectal cancer
• Breast cancer
• Prostate cancer
• Lung cancer
• Skin cancer
• Cervical cancer
• Abdominal aortic aneurysm
