Your annual checkup is one of the smartest financial moves you can make.
Catching health issues early means they're easier and cheaper to treat. A routine blood pressure check today could prevent a major health crisis down the road. A screening could catch issues at stage 1 rather than stage 4.
Here's what to prioritize this year:
✅ Annual physical exam with your primary care doctor
✅ Blood pressure and cholesterol screening
✅ Immunizations and vaccines
✅ Vision and dental checkups
Plus, establishing care with a primary doctor means you're not scrambling to find someone when you're actually sick. You'll have someone who knows your history and can get you in quickly.
Most plans cover preventive care with low or even no out-of-pocket costs, but it varies by plan. Not sure what yours covers? That's exactly the kind of question we help answer every day.
