At Inspire Medical Group, our full-body physical exams are designed to provide a thorough evaluation of your overall health and well-being. Our experienced healthcare providers are committed to helping you stay healthy, detect potential medical issues early, and promote preventive care. A full-body physical exam typically includes a comprehensive evaluation of your overall health, and it may consist of the following components:

• Health History Review: The healthcare provider will ask about your medical history, lifestyle, and any current health concerns. This includes reviewing past illnesses, surgeries, medications, allergies, and family medical history.

• Vital Signs Check: This includes measuring your blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. These vital signs provide key information about your cardiovascular and overall health.

• Physical Examination: The provider will examine your body for any visible signs of health issues, including checking your skin, eyes, ears, nose, throat, and other parts of your body. This may also include listening to your heart and lungs with a stethoscope.

• Blood Tests: Blood work is commonly done to check for cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and organ function, among other things. These tests help detect early signs of conditions like diabetes, high cholesterol, and liver disease.

• Urinalysis: A urine sample may be taken to check for infections, kidney problems, or other conditions.

• Cancer Screenings: Depending on your age, gender, and risk factors, cancer screenings may be recommended.

• Immunizations: Your provider may review your vaccination history and recommend any necessary updates, especially for adults.

• Mental Health Check: A discussion about mental well-being and stress levels may be part of the exam, as mental health is just as important as physical health.

A full-body physical exam helps your healthcare provider get a clear picture of your health, catch potential issues early, and create a tailored care plan for you. At Inspire Medical Group, our goal at Inspire Medical Group is not only to detect diseases early and monitor chronic conditions, but also to empower you with knowledge and preventive strategies to maintain your health.

We believe that a full body physical exam is a cornerstone of preventive healthcare. Regular physical exams help identify potential health issues early and support your overall well-being. These exams are tailored to meet your unique health needs and personal risk factors.

For most healthy adults without chronic medical conditions, it’s generally recommended to have a physical exam every one to two years. However, the ideal frequency may vary based on your age, gender, medical history, and specific risk factors. If you’re in your 20s or 30s and in good health, a physical every two to three years may be sufficient. As you reach your 40s and beyond—or if new health concerns arise—annual exams are often recommended to maintain good health.

If you have a chronic condition such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease, more frequent check-ups may be necessary. At Inspire Medical Group, we are committed to supporting your health and well-being with personalized care tailored to your needs. Our skilled team is dedicated to helping you stay on track with regular physical exams, managing any existing conditions, and preventing future health issues.

At Inspire Medical Group, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest standard of personalized care. To help us gather the most accurate information during your full body physical exam, we recommend following these simple steps to prepare for your appointment:

• Document Your Symptoms: Before your visit, make a list of any symptoms you’ve been experiencing, even if they seem minor or unrelated. This helps your healthcare provider get a comprehensive picture of your health.

• Gather Your Medical History: Bring details about your past illnesses, surgeries, allergies, and a complete list of your current medications and supplements (including dosages). Having this information ready ensures your provider can tailor your care plan to your unique needs.

• Follow Specific Instructions: If your provider has given you any special instructions—such as fasting or temporarily stopping certain medications—please follow them carefully to ensure the most accurate results.

• Dress Comfortably: Wear clothing that is easy to remove, as you may be asked to change into a gown for your exam.

• Arrive Early: Arriving 10-15 minutes before your scheduled appointment allows time for any necessary paperwork and helps you start your visit feeling relaxed.

• Bring Important Documents: If this is your first visit, don’t forget your insurance card, a photo ID, and any relevant medical records.

• Prepare Your Questions: Write down any questions or health topics you’d like to discuss with your provider, so you won’t forget them during your visit.

• Get a Good Night’s Sleep: Rest well the night before, and try to avoid strenuous exercise, alcohol, or caffeine just before your exam, as these can affect some of your vital signs.

At Inspire Medical Group, we’re dedicated to providing you with the best possible care. By following these steps, you’ll be well-prepared for your visit, allowing our team to focus on your health and well-being. We are here to support you every step of the way and ensure you receive the personalized care you need.

At Inspire Medical Group, we understand that navigating insurance coverage for your healthcare can be confusing—especially when it comes to annual physical exams. Health insurance coverage for full-body physical exams varies depending on the type of insurance plan. Preventive services, including annual wellness visits, are typically covered by most commercial health insurance plans and Medicare at no cost to the patient when provided by in-network providers. However, these visits usually focus on basic health screenings and assessments rather than a comprehensive full-body exam.

Full-body physical exams, often considered executive or elective physicals, are generally not covered by standard health insurance plans. These exams, which include comprehensive screenings and assessments, can be costly and are usually not considered necessary for preventive care. If you wish to have a full-body exam, it’s important to check with your insurance provider beforehand to understand what will be covered and what costs you may incur.
