Another type of Physical Exam, a Wellness Physical’s purpose is to evaluate current medical conditions and health challenges as well as to look at preventative measures to avoid health issues in the future. Many health insurances cover a yearly wellness visit and encourage it, some even require at least one a year to enjoy certain health benefits (contact you insurance provider for details).
At your Wellness Visit, take advantage of forming a health plan with your doctor to make needed health changes and ensure your overall well-being. Discussing with your provider what you can do for your own health will prepare you for and enable healthier, better days ahead.
