A majority of health insurance companies in the United States cover annual wellness exams in order to promote good health for Americans. A thorough wellness exam each year with your Michigan Avenue Primary Care provider helps keep track of your health history while screening for diseases and their risk factors.
With an annual wellness visit, your provider can identify many health issues through effective testing, diagnosis, and treatment before a health condition becomes a major problem. In some cases, health issues can be caught early and reversed so you can enjoy better health without worry.
The providers at Michigan Avenue Primary Care pride themselves on providing thorough, individualized care for every patient. An annual wellness exam includes:
Your annual wellness visit can be scheduled at your convenience and typically takes less than one hour to complete. Your provider aims to understand your current health situation and any health goals you have in the future — such as weight loss or quitting smoking — so they can support you effectively.
If your provider notices anything problematic about your health during your exam, they will order additional testing. This may include blood or urine samples, imaging — like ultrasound, an MRI, or a mammogram — and further evaluation.
Once your provider collects all the necessary information, you are diagnosed appropriately. For most chronic health conditions, your provider has the requisite training and experience to help you.
In more serious situations, the Michigan Avenue Primary Care team has a wide referral network to help you find the best doctor to help with your condition.
Everyone should get an annual wellness exam, even if they feel healthy. While you may not have any symptoms, your doctors want to keep an eye on things like your weight, blood pressure, and daily habits to ensure that you’re not at risk for any health problems in the future.
