Depending on your age and history, that may include cholesterol checks, blood pressure, and cancer screenings like mammograms or colon checks. Book online or walk in any day.

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.

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 visit schedule that fits your needs.

Yes—most health insurance plans in Georgia cover one annual physical exam per year as part of your preventive care benefits.
