  • Update family health history
  • Review your health history
  • Update of current medications, herbs, and supplements (bring list)
  • Evaluate need for health screening tests based on age and personal and family history (such as mammogram, disease bone density, EKG, CXR, echocardiogram, colon cancer screening, etc. )

Insurance Coverage Issues:

  • Please check your insurance policy to make sure you are covered for yearly preventive exam.  Different insurance policies have different rules for preventive care coverage.
  • Most Insurance companies allow for only one prevention exam per 12-month period (and some will not pay for a visit even a few days before the year s up). Please make sure that it has been 366 days since your last annual examination.
