Well Woman Exams

Why Well-Woman Exams are Important to Your Health.

Whether you’re 16 or 60, an important habit every woman should get into is scheduling an annual well-woman examination. By staying on top of your health and seeing a clinician annually, you improve the chances that you’ll catch any problems you may be having early on, when treatment is most effective.

In most cases, insurance and Medicare cover the cost of an annual well-woman exam, but be sure to check with your carrier before scheduling an appointment.
