Annual Wellness Visit Q&A

Why do I need an annual wellness visit?

It’s great to have this time carved out to focus on your health. Even if you’re in close touch with your care team, your annual wellness visit is a chance to zoom out and discuss where you are with your wellness and where you want to go.

Is there anything I need to do to prepare?

It’ll be helpful for your care team if you have on hand:

• The names of any medications or supplements you take
• An updated weight, blood pressure, and heart rate
