Annual Wellness Visits

  • The Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly appointment with your healthcare provider that focuses on developing or updating a personalized prevention plan.
  • During the visit, your provider evaluates key health indicators such as height, weight, and blood pressure.
  • Personal and family medical histories are reviewed and updated, and you will discuss health risks, preventive strategies, and recommended screening tests to help maintain your overall health and well-being.
  • A few important points:
  • The Annual Wellness Visit is generally focused on prevention and health planning, not a comprehensive physical examination.
  • It often includes a review of medications, risk factors, cognitive health, and preventive care recommendations.
  • The goal is to help identify potential health concerns early and create a plan to support long-term health.
  • All patients should have an Annual Wellness Visit every 366 days.
