Helpful information for new patients

Frequently Asked Questions About Preventive Care in Anaheim, CA

Does an annual physical count as preventive care?

Yes, an annual physical is usually billed as preventive care when it focuses on screenings, vaccines, and prevention. If you raise a new problem or need follow-up testing during the visit, that part may be billed separately. Ask your insurance plan how it covers preventive visits before your appointment.

How often should I see a doctor for preventive care?

Many healthy adults schedule a preventive visit with their primary care doctor once a year. Patients with chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease may need more frequent visits. Dr. Wadhwa recommends a visit schedule that fits your health profile during your first appointment.

Is the Medicare Annual Wellness Visit the same as a physical?

No. Medicare.gov notes that the yearly wellness visit is not a routine physical exam. It focuses on reviewing your health and creating or updating a personalized prevention plan. It is covered once every 12 months at no cost when your provider accepts assignment, after your first year of Part B.

At what age should I start colorectal cancer screening?

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends colorectal cancer screening for adults ages 45 to 75, with selective screening from ages 76 to 85. People with a family history or other risk factors may need to start earlier, so talk with your doctor about the right timing and test for you.

Can preventive care visits be done by telehealth?

Some preventive care can be handled by telehealth, such as reviewing lab results, updating your health plan, and discussing lifestyle goals. Hands-on parts of an annual physical, such as the exam and vital signs, happen in person at the Anaheim, CA office. Learn more about primary care options.
