2 ways to stay healthy all year long

When we feel fine, we tend to forget to see our doctor on a regular basis. But annual physical exams are more than just checking your overall health, even when nothing is wrong. Wellness checks also provide an opportunity to reconnect with your doctor and learn about preventive steps you can take to help ensure you stay healthy longer.

As we age, recommended physical exams can change. For example, if you are healthy in your 20s and 30s, you can see your doctor once every two years. Beyond that, annual physical checkups are recommended starting at age 40.

Along with talking to your doctor about any changes that have occurred, stress levels or other health concerns you may have, benefits of having an annual exam include:

• Help you maintain good health
• Assess risks for future health issues
• Maintain a healthy lifestyle
• Get professional guidance about your health
• Understand better treatment options
• Review your medications

Benefits of choosing a PCP 360

Moda Health members who choose a PCP 360 for primary care services will have access to personalized coordinated care. The PCP 360 coordinates with other care providers you may need to provide the best care and treatments to meet your personal care needs.

Plus, when you choose a PCP 360 you also get better benefits that include:

• A lower individual deductible
• A lower individual out-of-pocket maximum
• A lower cost for certain services, such as:
  1. Primary care office visits
