Preventive care can lower overall health care costs

Even if you’re generally healthy, it’s important to connect with your provider every year. Your provider will review your medical history and check your weight, blood pressure and more. It’s also a great time to talk about your mental health, lifestyle and any wellness goals. Your provider may also do a physical exam, order lab work, or recommend immunizations and routine screenings.

Preventive visits and screenings can help you manage your health goals, keep you healthy and catch developing issues early. The earlier an issue is caught, the faster your provider can act on a treatment plan, which may reduce your health care costs in the long run.
