Show Notes

Seeing your primary care provider every year, even if you are feeling well, is important to keep you healthy.

Most insurance companies, including Medicare, cover annual wellness visits at no cost to you.

Checking in annually with a primary care provider (doctor or nurse practitioner) can help you build a strong patient-provider relationship, which can have a profound impact on your health. A primary care provider serves as your health care compass, guiding you through medical decisions and tailoring a personalized plan for your health.

In this episode of Small Steps for Better Health, Dr. Lakeisha Chism, family medicine physician at Verona Medical Clinic, shares more about the importance of yearly checkups.
