A routine physical exam provides you the opportunity to access preventive services and discuss strategies to minimize health risks and achieve a healthy lifestyle. Based on age and risk, annual assessments should include:

• services like vaccinations, that improve your health by preventing diseases and other health problems.
• Screenings, which are medical tests to check for diseases early when they may be easier to treat.
• Education and counseling to help you make informed health decisions based off your health habits and health history.

Most insurance plans cover a variety of preventive services for women without charging a co-payment or co-insurance, even if you have not met your yearly deductible.
