This is a routine office visit with a new healthcare provider for females 40 to 64 years of age.
This is a routine office visit with a new healthcare provider for females 40 to 64 years of age.
- This visit includes a review of your medical history, a physical exam and appropriate tests and immunizations for this age range.
- The healthcare provider will ask questions about your lifestyle and may order blood, urine or other tests if there are risk factors for any diseases.
- Lifestyle questions include asking about safety habits (helmet and seatbelt use); alcohol, tobacco and drug use; diet, weight and exercise; school and social activities; and sexual activity. Based on your answers, counseling about reducing health risks may also be provided.
During a routine wellness visit, your weight, height and blood pressure will be checked.
- The healthcare provider will also review your immunization records and recommend updates, such as a flu vaccination.
- Beginning at age 21, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommends women have periodic pap smears, which involves a pelvic exam (also known as an “internal exam”.) A Pap smear is a test of the cells taken from the cervix during a pelvic exam; a pelvic exam is an exam of the external and internal reproductive organs.
- Although most insurance plans cover wellness visits without a copay, you may incur additional charges if your healthcare provider needs to assess any problems or abnormal findings or advises additional testing or immunizations.
It is helpful if you are prepared for your appointment with your healthcare provider.
- Before your examination, make a list of questions, symptoms or concerns you want to discuss. Bring a list of your medications to the appointment (including over-the-counter).
- During the appointment, ask about your overall health, specific concerns you have and what screenings and immunizations are recommended for your age group.
- After your appointment, you should know what immunizations you received, the reason for each of them and if there are any side effects. If tests were ordered, ask if the test results will change your treatment plan. If not why are they necessary? You should know the follow-up plans, if any, and if there are symptoms you should report sooner than the next appointment.
