FAQs About Preventive Healthcare and Services
What are preventive services in primary care?
Preventive services are medical evaluations, screenings, and interventions that aim to prevent illness, detect diseases early, and promote general wellness.
How often should I get a physical exam?
You should have a physical at least once a year, even if you feel healthy. It helps track changes and spot health risks early.
Are preventive services covered by insurance?
Most preventive services are covered under insurance plans, especially those recommended by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF). Always confirm with your provider.
When should I start cancer screenings?
It varies by cancer type and personal risk factors. Generally, women should begin Pap smears at 21, and both men and women should begin colorectal screening by 45-50 years of age.
