🩺 Preventive Care vs. Office Visits — What’s the Difference?
At Butler County Clinic, we know insurance coverage can be confusing, so we want to help break it down 👇
🟢 Preventive Care (Annual Wellness Visit)
Focused on keeping you healthy! These visits typically include:
✔️ Height & weight
✔️ Blood pressure & pulse
✔️ Temperature
✔️ Heart & lung checks
✔️ Ears, eyes, throat, skin & abdomen exams
✔️ Immunizations & cancer screenings
🔵 Office Visits
These visits focus on specific concerns, such as:
🩹 Injuries or illness
💊 Medications
📋 Ongoing conditions (high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, etc.)
🔄 Good to Know:
Sometimes preventive care and an office visit happen during the same appointment. When that happens, insurance may apply patient responsibility for the office visit portion, and you may receive a statement afterward.
📞 Questions about coverage?
Insurance benefits vary by carrier, so we recommend contacting your insurance provider for details. We’re always happy to help guide you, too!
