Routine Preventative Exam Financial Policy
This policy is with regard to a request for a Routine Preventative Exam (Annual Physical, Well Woman Exam, etc.). This is a specific service designed to screen for and prevent health issues. It may include a physical exam, immunization, medical tests (EKG/x-ray), counseling, and lab work depending on your individual risk factors and medical needs.
In most cases, the Routine Preventative Exam is provided by insurance under the preventative care benefits. The Affordable Care Act obligates most insurance plans to pay for this service at no cost to you.
There are important exceptions to preventative benefit coverage that are outlined in this financial agreement. This agreement will be required each year prior to receiving a Routine Preventative Exam and any associated medical tests.
