What is an annual physical?

An annual physical is a yearly preventive checkup with a primary care provider to assess your overall health. It is a chance to track changes over time, update screenings and vaccines, and catch problems before they cause symptoms. Even when you feel well, the visit establishes a baseline your provider can compare against year to year.


What does an annual physical consist of?

An annual physical consists of a health history review, vital sign checks, a head-to-toe exam, and any recommended screenings. A typical visit includes:


  • A review of your medical history, medications, and any new concerns
  • Vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and weight
  • A physical exam of your heart, lungs, abdomen, skin, head and neck, and reflexes
  • Lab work or screenings based on your age, sex, and risk factors
  • A conversation about lifestyle, mental health, and preventive care


How long does a physical take?

A physical usually takes 30 to 45 minutes. A first visit with a new provider can take longer because they gather your full medical history, and adding blood draws or extra screenings can extend the appointment. Booking the first slot of the day or arriving with your paperwork ready helps keep the process efficient.


Why are annual physicals important?

Annual physicals matter because they catch silent risk factors early, when they are easiest to manage. Conditions like high blood pressure and high cholesterol often have no symptoms, yet they are major contributors to heart disease, the leading cause of death in the US. A yearly visit lets your provider measure these numbers, flag any changes, and start preventive measures before a problem becomes serious.


What is the difference between an annual physical and an annual wellness exam?

An annual physical and an annual wellness exam are two different types of preventive healthcare appointments. An annual physical is a hands-on exam in which your provider evaluates your overall health, including checking vital signs and performing a physical assessment.


An annual wellness exam focuses on preventive care, reviewing your health history and risk factors, and creating a personalized plan to help you maintain your health. The services included in each visit may vary depending on your healthcare provider and insurance coverage. 


How do I find an annual physical near me?

The right primary care provider will perform your exam, order the screenings that fit your age and history, and partner with you on prevention. Use Zocdoc to book an annual physical near you and book a visit based on your insurance and availability.
