Annual Exams

Comprehensive yearly checkups to monitor your health and catch problems early

About Annual Exams

Annual wellness exams at M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group are the foundation of preventive care, giving you and your doctor a complete picture of your health each year. These comprehensive checkups are performed by our experienced medical doctors and are designed to detect health concerns early — when they are most treatable — and to keep your ongoing conditions well managed. During your annual exam, your physician reviews your medical history, performs a thorough physical examination, orders appropriate screening tests, updates vaccinations, and discusses any new symptoms or health concerns. For our senior patients, annual exams are especially important for monitoring conditions common with aging, including high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular risk, cognitive changes, and medication management. At M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group, your annual exam is also an opportunity for your doctor to coordinate with our specialists in vascular care, pain management, podiatry, and rehabilitation to ensure all aspects of your health are addressed under one roof.

What to Expect

Your annual exam begins with a review of your medical history, current medications, and any health changes since your last visit. Your doctor will perform a comprehensive physical examination including blood pressure, heart and lung assessment, abdominal examination, and musculoskeletal evaluation. Routine bloodwork and age-appropriate screenings will be ordered as needed. You will have time to discuss any questions or concerns with your doctor, and referrals to specialists within M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group will be arranged if needed.

Who Is This For?

Annual exams are for all adults, and are particularly important for seniors and individuals managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, or arthritis who benefit from regular monitoring and coordinated preventive care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is included in an annual exam?
A typical annual exam includes a complete physical examination, blood pressure check, review of medications, routine bloodwork (cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney and liver function), age-appropriate cancer screenings, vaccination updates, and a discussion of any new health concerns or lifestyle changes.
Is an annual exam covered by Medicare?
Yes. Medicare covers an Annual Wellness Visit at no cost to you when you see a participating provider. This visit focuses on preventive care and health planning. Additional tests or treatments identified during the visit may have separate coverage terms, which our billing team can explain.
How is an annual exam different from a sick visit?
An annual exam is a scheduled preventive visit focused on overall health assessment, screenings, and early detection. A sick visit is for evaluating and treating a specific symptom or illness. Both are important, but annual exams help catch problems before symptoms appear.
What should I bring to my annual exam?
Please bring your insurance card, a list of all current medications (including vitamins and supplements), any recent test results from outside providers, and a list of questions or health concerns you would like to discuss with your doctor.
Can my annual exam doctor refer me to specialists at M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group?
Yes. One of the advantages of M&S Vascular and Orthopedic Group is our coordinated care model. Your primary care doctor can refer you directly to our vascular, orthopedic, pain management, podiatry, or rehabilitation specialists — all within the same practice, making scheduling and communication seamless.
