In our ongoing efforts to assist you in adopting and maintaining a healthy lifestyle and optimizing your quality of life, you will be encouraged and reminded by our staff to schedule a Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment each year. This is a comprehensive annual examination, unrelated to any illness or injury. It will include a thorough examination and an appropriate array of screening tests based on age, health status and risk factors. Every patient is advised to have an annual evaluation. Depending on your particular health situation, additional tests (such as specific blood tests, a colonoscopy, mammogram, etc.) may be recommended. These will be billed by the performing entity, and you or your insurer will be responsible for payment of these tests. We will use the results of the exam to help you develop a plan for the year to improve health and fitness and to address any new or existing health goals.
The membership fee does not apply to the Welcome to Medicare assessment or Annual Wellness Exams. Portions of this Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment and associated tests may be “covered” services under Medicare and other commercial insurance plans and will be billed accordingly. However, the annual fee applies only to non-covered components of the Comprehensive Annual Health Assessment.
