Your annual wellness visit is a yearly appointment with your primary care provider (PCP). During this visit, your PCP will go over your health, review your medications, and talk about any concerns.

Regular checkups can help keep you from getting sick and find health problems early. Even if you feel healthy, go for a regular checkup. 

Call your PCP to set up your annual checkup. You may be able to talk to your PCP by phone or video. Ask your PCP if they offer telehealth services and if they are right for you. 

Here are some questions you might ask your PCP: 

• Do I need any vaccinations? 
• Do I need any health screenings or blood tests? 
• Do I need any changes to my prescriptions? 
• What lifestyle changes can I make to improve my health? 
• When should I schedule my next visit? 

Follow your PCP’s advice. Listen to your PCP and ask questions if you don't understand. Be sure to keep all follow-up visits. Also, take medications as prescribed. Talk to your PCP today to schedule your checkup!
