So You Want a Physical?Since the advent of ObamaCare, most insurance companies were required to cover an annual “preventive” exam with no deductible. We have changed our practice to accommodate this development, and now offer “abbreviated” physicals to every patient on a yearly basis. For new patients, especially those over age 40 or on chronic medications, we still do it the old way-- meaning that you will meet with my head nurse for a thorough “database” history, including fasting lab work. This is an extra visit for you (at no additional charge) but it does assure me that nothing is falling through the cracks. If you need the two-step physical, the 2-page history form can be downloaded here. You will need to fill that out before you see Jackie, and come for the interview fasting. I congratulate you on your commitment to health promotion, and will look forward to seeing you in the office.
