Preventive Care That Puts You First | Texas MultiSpecialty Clinic
At Texas MultiSpecialty Clinic, your health and wellness are our top priorities. Prevention is the foundation of a long, healthy life, so we offer Annual Wellness Visits and Annual Health Assessments to help you avoid health issues before they arise. Our experienced team provides comprehensive, personalized, and compassionate care to patients in Live Oak, San Antonio, and nearby communities.
Whether you are maintaining your health, managing chronic conditions, or want peace of mind, our yearly visits are designed to meet your needs—wherever you are.
What Is an Annual Wellness Visit?
An Annual Wellness Visit (AWV) is a yearly appointment covered by Medicare that focuses on prevention and long-term health planning. Unlike a traditional physical exam, an AWV does not involve hands-on testing or diagnostics. Instead, it helps you and your provider create a customized health plan based on your health status and risk factors.
What’s Included in an Annual Wellness Visit?
During your Annual Wellness Visit at Texas MultiSpecialty Clinic, our care team will:
- Review your medical and family history
- Compile a comprehensive list of your healthcare providers and medications
- Record basic vitals like height, weight, BMI, and blood pressure
- Assess cognitive function and risk factors for depression
- Evaluate your risk of falls and other safety issues
- Discuss current health concerns
- Establish a schedule for preventive screenings
- Develop a personalized prevention plan tailored to your goals and health risks
This is your opportunity to speak with your provider about any health questions or changes you’ve noticed so we can ensure you stay on the right track year after year.
What Is an Annual Health Assessment?
While Annual Wellness Visits are typically geared toward Medicare beneficiaries and preventive planning, an Annual Health Assessment is a more comprehensive, hands-on evaluation. It’s available to patients of all ages and insurance types, and it’s a great way to stay informed about your body and health.
What Does a Health Assessment Include?
At Texas MultiSpecialty Clinic, your Annual Health Assessment may include:
- Comprehensive physical exam
- Check of vital signs, including heart rate, blood pressure, and respiratory rate.
- Laboratory testing (blood work, urinalysis, cholesterol levels, etc.)
- Chronic disease screenings (diabetes, hypertension, heart disease)
- Cancer screenings, where appropriate
- Mental and emotional health evaluations
- Immunization updates
- Lifestyle guidance on diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management
- Referral coordination if specialized care is needed
These assessments help us catch early signs of disease, adjust ongoing treatment plans, and reinforce healthy habits to prevent future problems.
Why Are Annual Visits So Important?
Even if you feel fine, annual visits are crucial to maintaining good health. Many severe conditions—such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or certain cancers—may not show symptoms in the early stages. Annual exams allow us to detect changes before they become serious health concerns.
Key Benefits:
- Early detection of disease: Identify and treat issues before they escalate.
- Chronic disease management: Adjust medications and monitor ongoing conditions effectively.
- Preventive care planning: Set up regular screenings and vaccinations
- Peace of mind: Understand your current health status and what you can do to stay well.
Who Should Schedule an Annual Visit?
Our Annual Wellness Visits and Annual Health Assessments are recommended for:
- Adults age 18 and older
- Seniors enrolled in Medicare
- Individuals with chronic conditions (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)
- People at risk for heart disease or stroke
- Anyone who wants to take proactive steps toward healthier living
Whether in excellent health or managing complex medical needs, annual check-ins are an innovative, simple way to control your well-being.
