Preventive services or preventive care are those services offered by your primary care doctor, which consists of measures taken for disease prevention. A preventive care visit is a prevention-focused visit with your primary care physician intended to prevent illnesses and detect health concerns early. This is different from a regular office visit, which is a problem-focused appointment to discuss new or existing health problems or symptoms.

Most health plans cover a yearly preventive visit, check with your insurance. During your wellness exam some of the services provided are as follows:
