SICK VISITS

Sick Visits services are medically necessary services which are required for an illness or injury that would not result in further disability or death if not treated immediately, but require professional attention and have the potential to develop such a threat if treatment is delayed longer than 24 hours. An urgent care condition could be...

  • Allergic reaction
  • Nausea
  • Acute Illness
  • Fever
  • Etc

ANNUAL WELLNESS

The Annual Wellness Visit is a yearly appointment with your primary care provider (PCP) to create or update a personalized prevention plan. This plan may help prevent illness based on your current health and risk factors. Keep in mind that the annual wellness is not a head-to-toe physical.

  • Check your height, weight, blood pressure, and other routine measurements
  • Give you a health risk assessment
  • Learn about your medical and family history
  • Provide health advice and referrals to health education and/or preventive counseling services aimed at reducing identified risk factors and promoting wellness

PHYSICALS

A physical exam can be general or specific to a particular problem. Your primary care physician conducts an overall physical exam at least once annually; this may be more frequent if specific health issues are being managed. Physical exams can be required annually by your place of work or school. A cardiologist's examination, on the other hand, may focus on heart-related health markers, some of which are included in a general physical.

  • Observation includes using instruments to look into your eyes, ears, nose, and throat.
  • Your doctor will check certain parts of your body, feeling for unusual lumps, checking organ size and shape, and checking responses.
  • Auscultation involves the use of a stethoscope to listen to your heart, lungs, and bowels.
