Besides establishing and monitoring your baseline health, annual check-ups are a great way to take charge of your health. The Health Maintenance Exam includes three main areas of analysis.

During the Doctor’s Consultation, you and your doctor will review and discuss important aspects of your health, including your and your families’ medical histories, allergies and intolerances, and immunization records. In addition to this, you’ll have a chance to share any complaints or symptoms you’ve been experiencing with the doctor and you’ll be able to discuss your current health routine and lifestyle. The consultation gives your doctor a clearer picture of your overall physical health and the aspects that may need to be managed or modified.

You will also undergo Routine Diagnostic Tests. These fundamental tests for completing your health profile include a blood count evaluation, kidney, and liver profile, urine analysis, fasting blood sugar and lipid profile, calcium and vitamin D, a resting EKG or chest x-ray, and a PSA test (men over 40). Lastly, your Physical Examination includes vital signs reading, lung exam, heart and blood vessel exam, breast exam, back and abdominal exam, a nervous system exam, extremity and musculoskeletal exam, and urogenital exam. These exams, together with the consultation, complete the Health Maintenance package.

The Health Check-up will allow you and your doctor to decide on a personalized course of care and serve as a comprehensive preventive health analysis. It will give your doctor a chance to review your current health practices to ensure you’re receiving the best and most appropriate care. The exam could also help you save on future medical bills by allowing you to catch and monitor health concerns before they escalate in seriousness.
