Why A Yearly Doctor Visit Matters

A yearly check-up helps keep people healthy, establish a baseline for future healthcare needs, catch issues early, and get care — all at no cost. 

It’s also a chance to talk with your doctor about what’s most important to you and strengthen your relationship with your doctor. You can ask questions and set health goals. 

You can even earn rewards for screenings, preventive visits and more. Learn more about the My Health Pays program.
