Overview

An annual wellness visit is where a lot of ongoing care starts, a chance to review your full health picture, update your history, and catch anything worth addressing before it becomes a bigger issue.

How ongoing primary care can help

Your provider will review your health history, current medications, and risk factors, discuss any screenings you're due for, and help set priorities for the year ahead.

Frequently asked questions

Can annual wellness and prevention visits really be managed over telehealth?

In many cases, yes. A primary care provider can evaluate your symptoms and history over video, review any recent labs, and help adjust your treatment plan when appropriate. For some chronic conditions, especially if they are uncontrolled, our providers may need to collect/complete vital signs, physical exams, lab tests, or imaging which requires an in person visit. Our providers will help you take the next step.

Do I need to keep seeing the same provider?

Continuity helps, as seeing the same provider over time means they already know your history and current plan, which usually means faster, more informed visits.

What if I need to be seen in person?

If your provider determines your condition needs an in-person exam, testing, or treatment they can't provide virtually, they'll let you know and help direct you to the right next step.
