Not an Annual Wellness Exam

This physical is not an annual wellness exam, primary care visit, preventive care visit, or full medical checkup.

If you need an annual wellness exam, chronic condition management, prescriptions, vaccines, preventive screening, or evaluation of symptoms, please schedule a visit with your primary care provider or appropriate healthcare professional.
