A yearly checkup (also called a well visit) is an important part of staying on track to good health. During a well visit, your primary care provider (PCP) can find health issues early, when they are easier to treat. There is no cost for a well visit. HPSM covers it 100%.
Well visits include the following health services:
- Screenings and tests for diabetes, heart disease and more. These can catch any concerns early so you can get the treatment you need when you need it.
- Vaccines protect you from diseases like the flu and COVID-19. Prescriptions for medicines you may need to treat your health conditions. Advice about self-care such as how to eat healthy and get enough exercise.
- Prescriptions for medicines you may need to treat your health conditions.
- Advice about self-care such as how to eat healthy and get enough exercise.
- Referrals to medical or behavioral health specialists if you need their services.
Make sure to schedule your yearly well visit with your primary care provider — even if you feel healthy.
