Understanding Your Annual Wellness Exam and Coverage

Plan your Annual Wellness Exam: coverage, visits, and next steps.

Updated yesterday

Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies are required to cover many preventive health services without a copay. Coverage can vary by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider before scheduling your telemedicine appointment. Currently, Circle Medical only offers Annual Wellness Exams virtually.

Always confirm your benefits and Annual Wellness Exam coverage directly with your insurance provider.

What To Expect During Your Video Wellness Exam

This preventive care visit is also known as an annual physical. Your Video Wellness Exam gives you and your provider time to:

  • Review your health history

  • Discuss any health concerns

  • Create a personalized care plan

  • Order any necessary screenings or lab tests

  • Update your vaccinations

Your Annual Wellness Exam is a great opportunity to establish care with a provider you trust. Circle Medical is here to help you stay ahead of your health and address any health concerns proactively.

Book your Annual Wellness Exam Virtually

You can complete your Annual Wellness Exam by video:

  • Video Visit: Get care from the comfort of your own space by booking a Video Wellness Exam on our mobile app or web portal.

If your provider asks for vitals such as blood pressure, these can be done at your local pharmacy.

If Your Annual Wellness Exam Isn't Covered

Call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card. This is the most effective way to get personalized information about your coverage, including co-pays, deductibles, and in-network status. Ask your insurance if your plan covers virtual physicals/video wellness exams offered through telehealth.

Book your Annual Wellness Exam today to stay on top of your health.

Please note: While some health insurance plans cover an Annual Wellness Exam in full ($0 co-pay) once every twelve months, please be aware that your insurance plan may not consider certain concerns discussed during your Annual Wellness Exam to be "preventative" and may charge accordingly.

Always confirm your healthcare coverage and benefits with your insurance provider directly.
