Annual Checkup

An annual check up is part of taking care of yourself so that you can be healthy, be there for others and do the things you want to do. An annual check up literally can save your life by uncovering serious conditions that haven’t started showing any symptoms.

Your annual check up helps build a relationship with your primary care provider, making it easier to discuss sensitive topics. Think of it as your medical home — a health care provider who is looking out for your overall health.

With most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, your annual check up is covered 100%, with no copays.

You can expect your primary care provider to look for any early signs of disease and help you arrange appropriate annual screenings. Heart disease, cancer and other conditions can be detected before you have symptoms, when treatment can be most successful.
