It is important to note that you may be charged an additional office visit or copay if separate health concerns are discussed during your annual visit. There may be times when your additional concerns need to be addressed with another appointment. However, when possible, your provider will attempt to address your concerns during your annual well-woman exam. It is important to recognize this may be associated with a co-pay or be applied to your deductible. If you have concerns about what your insurance covers, please contact your insurance provider. Call your insurance company to verify coverage.
