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.

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

What To Expect During Your Annual Wellness Exam

This preventive care visit is also known as an annual physical. Your Annual 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.

Which Visit Type Is Right for You?

You can complete your Annual Wellness Exam in one of two ways:

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

  2. In-Person Visit: Book your Annual Wellness Exam at one of our clinics.

If your video visit requires measurements like 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.

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.
