Why Annual Physical Exams Matter

Our Approach to Annual Check-ups

An annual physical exam is a routine check-up with your healthcare provider to make sure your body is working the way it should. Getting a yearly physical helps catch small issues before they turn into bigger problems. These visits give our providers a full picture of your overall health so we can spot early warning signs, manage chronic conditions, and keep you feeling your best year-round.

At AllCare Georgia, your physical exam includes a review of your medical history, vital signs, lifestyle habits, and routine tests. Whether it’s your first check-up in a while or just time for an annual update, we’ll make the process smooth, simple, and stress-free.

Who Should Get a Physical Exam?

Everyone can benefit from an annual physical, no matter your age, gender, or current health. These check-ups help detect early signs of illness, manage ongoing conditions, and keep your health on track year after year. Depending on your age and risk factors, your provider may recommend additional screenings during your visit. Here are some common examples:

  • Breast Cancer Screening: Women 40+ or those with a family history should get regular mammograms.
  • Bone Density Test: Women 60+ should be screened for osteoporosis.
  • Colon Cancer Screening: Adults 45+ may need stool tests (like Cologuard) or a colonoscopy.
  • Lung Cancer Screening: Smokers or former smokers aged 55–74 may be eligible for a low-dose CT scan.
  • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening:  Men aged 65–75 who have smoked should get a one-time ultrasound screening.
  • Prostate Cancer Screening: Men 50+ (or younger if high-risk) may need a PSA test and exam.
  • Cholesterol Check: Adults 20+ should have their cholesterol levels monitored regularly.

If you’re not sure which screenings apply to you, our providers at AllCare Georgia can help you decide based on your personal and family health history.

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What blood tests should I get at my annual physical?

At your annual physical exam at AllCare Georgia, your provider may order a set of routine blood tests to assess your overall health and screen for common conditions. These may include:

  • A Complete Blood Count (CBC) to check for infections, anemia, and more
  • A cholesterol panel to evaluate your risk for heart disease
  • A blood glucose or A1C test to screen for diabetes or prediabetes
  • Liver and kidney function tests to monitor how these organs are working
  • Additional tests based on your age, gender, family history, or symptoms

These tests help your provider catch early signs of chronic conditions and provide personalized health recommendations based on your lab results. If you’re located in Atlanta, Alpharetta, Smyrna, or other Georgia cities, you can get all your labs done quickly at your nearest AllCare Georgia clinic.

02 Do I need an annual physical exam if I feel healthy?

Yes, absolutely. Annual physical exams are designed to help you stay healthy, not just to diagnose illness. Many serious health conditions, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or type 2 diabetes, develop with no symptoms in the early stages.

At AllCare Georgia, our primary care providers use annual physicals to:

  • Detect issues early through preventive screenings
  • Review your lifestyle and risk factors
  • Monitor trends in your health over time
  • Update vaccines or discuss age-based screenings

Even if you feel fine, a yearly check-up helps you build a long-term relationship with your provider and stay ahead of potential problems.

03 Are annual physical exams covered by insurance in Georgia?

Yes—most health insurance plans in Georgia cover one annual physical exam per year as part of your preventive care benefits. This usually includes the physical exam itself, a review of your health history, and basic screenings or tests ordered by your provider.

At AllCare Georgia, we work with most major insurance plans and will verify your coverage when you arrive. If you don’t have insurance, we offer affordable self-pay options to make it easy to stay on top of your health.

04 How often should I schedule an annual physical exam?

Most adults should schedule a physical exam once every year. This allows your provider to track changes in your health, update medications, and screen for common conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.

If you have a chronic condition (such as hypertension, asthma, or diabetes) or a family history of certain illnesses, your provider may recommend more frequent visits. Our team at AllCare Georgia will help you set a personalized schedule that fits your needs.

05 Is a physical exam the same as a wellness visit?

They’re closely related, but not identical. A wellness visit is typically focused on preventive care: reviewing your health history, updating vaccinations, and discussing lifestyle changes. A physical exam includes all of that, plus a hands-on check-up, vital signs assessment, and often routine lab work.

At AllCare Georgia, we combine both services into one convenient visit, so whether you’re in Atlanta, Alpharetta, or Smyrna, you can get your full annual check-up, screenings, and health advice all in one place.
