At Cleveland Health Center, we believe the best medicine is prevention. Through wellness visits and age-appropriate screenings, we help you stay ahead of health concerns so you can stay active, independent, and in control.
Preventive care includes routine check-ups, recommended vaccines, and age-appropriate screenings that can help detect concerns early and keep you feeling your best. A key part of preventive care is an annual wellness or physical exam. Regular visits allow your provider to review your health history, update your risk factors, and address changes you may have noticed over the past year.
Preventive visits are often covered by insurance. However, if new symptoms are evaluated, chronic conditions are managed, or additional testing is recommended during the same appointment, those services may be billed separately. At Cleveland Health Center, your provider will help determine which preventive services and screenings are appropriate for you based on your age, medical history, and personal risk factors. Be sure to check with your insurance provider before your annual physical to see which preventive lab tests, procedures and vaccinations are covered.
