Primary & Preventive Care
Your first—and most important—line of defense for lifelong health
What is Primary & Preventive Care?
Primary & Preventive Care brings together day-to-day medical support (primary care) with proactive measures (preventive care) to stop illnesses before they start or catch them early when they are easiest to treat. A trusted primary-care provider becomes your medical “home base,” coordinating screenings, vaccines, chronic-disease management, and any specialty referrals you may need.
Why it matters
| Benefit | How it helps you & your family |
|---|---|
| Early detection | Cancers, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol are often silent in the early stages; routine labs and screenings find problems sooner, when treatment is simpler and more successful. |
| Lower long-term costs | Preventive visits and immunizations are typically covered 100 % by Medicaid and most commercial plans, avoiding expensive ER visits later. |
| Whole-person health | Primary-care teams look beyond today’s symptom, tracking mental health, lifestyle, and social factors that influence overall wellness. |
| Care coordination | Your primary-care office keeps all records in one place, reducing duplicate tests and ensuring every specialist sees the full picture. |
Included services—what each one actually covers
| Service | What happens during the visit | Typical frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Care & Family Medicine | Comprehensive exams, acute illness visits, vaccinations, medication renewals, health counseling for all ages. | As needed; usually 1–2x / year for healthy adults, more for kids and chronic conditions. |
| Preventive Health Screenings | Blood pressure, lipid panel, A1c, cancer screenings (mammogram, Pap, colonoscopy), STI testing, vision & hearing. Tailored to age, sex, and risk factors. | Follow USPSTF or American Cancer Society guidelines (e.g., cholesterol every 4–6 yrs starting age 20; colon cancer every 10 yrs starting age 45). |
| Annual Wellness Checkups | Review past year’s health, update immunizations, measure BMI, discuss mood, sleep, nutrition, substance use, safety, and set goals. | Every 12 months (Medicare & Medicaid cover at 100 %). |
