COMMON QUESTIONS
Annual Physical Exams FAQs
Helpful answers before you schedule your visit.
What is included in an annual physical at Altheda?
Your annual physical may include a review of your medical history, vital signs, current medications and supplements, a physical exam, preventive screening guidance, and lab work when clinically appropriate. Your provider will tailor the visit to your age, health history, concerns, and long-term wellness goals.
Can new patients schedule an annual physical?
Yes. Annual physicals are a great way for new patients to establish care, review their overall health, and begin building an ongoing relationship with a primary care provider at Altheda.
How soon can I be seen for an annual physical?
Same-day or next-day appointments may be available depending on current scheduling. Patients can check availability online and book directly.
Can I get lab work during my annual physical?
Your provider may recommend lab work based on your medical history, symptoms, family history, risk factors, or preventive care needs. Not every patient needs the same testing, so recommendations are personalized during the visit.
Is an annual physical covered by insurance?
Many insurance plans cover certain preventive services, but benefits can vary by plan and by what is addressed during the visit. If additional concerns, testing, or medical issues are discussed, insurance may process those services differently. Patients should verify their specific benefits when needed.
Can I discuss medications or other health concerns during the visit?
Yes. An annual physical is a helpful time to review medications, supplements, refills, and broader health concerns. If a separate issue requires additional evaluation or treatment, your provider can explain the most appropriate next step.
What is the difference between an annual physical and a sick visit?
An annual physical focuses on preventive care, routine health review, and screening guidance. A sick visit focuses on new symptoms, acute concerns, or active medical issues that need diagnosis or treatment.
Do I need to fast before my appointment?
Not always. Some blood tests require fasting, while others do not. If fasting is needed for labs your provider recommends, you will be given the appropriate instructions.
