How to Prepare for a Wellness Visit

Wellness visits are an essential part of staying healthy, catching potential issues early, and building a strong relationship with your healthcare provider. Whether it’s your first visit or part of your routine care, knowing what to expect and how to prepare can help you make the most of your appointment.

Here’s how to get ready for your next wellness visit with Priority Cares:

1. Know Why You’re Going

A wellness visit is different from a sick visit. It’s a proactive check-up designed to:

• Assess your overall health

• Update necessary screenings and immunizations

• Discuss lifestyle habits

• Set health goals

This is your time to talk with your provider about prevention—not just problems.

2. Gather Your Health Information

Bring or have ready:

• A list of your medications (prescription, over-the-counter, and supplements)

• Any recent test results or medical records from other providers

• A list of specialists you see

• Your personal and family health history

The more your provider knows, the better they can personalize your care.

3. Think About Your Questions or Concerns

What’s been on your mind lately? Make a list of topics you’d like to discuss. Common questions include:

• What screenings or tests do I need?

• Are my current medications still appropriate?

• How can I manage my weight, stress, or sleep better?

Even if you feel healthy, your concerns matter—and this is the place to bring them up.

4. Update Your Lifestyle Habits

Be honest about your:

• Diet

• Physical activity

• Sleep routine

• Tobacco, alcohol, or substance use

No judgment here—wellness visits are about helping you thrive, not making you feel bad. Honest answers mean better care.

5. Bring Your Insurance and ID

Before your visit, double-check:

• That your visit is covered under your insurance

• Whether you need to fast for any bloodwork

• If you’ll need a co-pay or other documents

The front desk team at Priority Cares can help clarify anything before your appointment.

6. Be Ready for Follow-Up

You might leave your appointment with:

• A plan for follow-up labs or screenings

• Referrals to specialists

• Personalized advice or goals

Stay on top of any action items—your long-term health depends on small, consistent steps.
