Keeping healthy these days involves more than just protecting yourself against COVID-19, it also includes annual wellness visit. The best way for you to receive comprehensive, personal care is for your doctor to know you, and your health, well. And the best way to achieve this is by seeing your doctor regularly.
Face-to-face wellness visits help you connect with your primary care provider, establish trust, and share your healthcare preferences. They&rsquo;re also an opportunity to discuss important health issues, get regular exams, vaccinations, cancer screenings, and health counseling so you can catch any potential issues early.
 

To keep your health on track, it&rsquo;s important to get an annual wellness visit. Plus it&rsquo;s free.&nbsp;

*Does not apply to Portfolio plans. Depending on your plan, there are two or more free PCP visits in a calendar year regardless of diagnosis. Visit must be with your designated PCP, and a visit for covered preventive care may count toward your limit, even though preventive care is always covered at no member cost share.

Don’t avoid your annual wellness visit just because you’re trying to avoid COVID-19.
