Which preventive screenings should I bring up at a primary-care visit?

Start with what you have already had and what may be due for you. Screening needs depend on age, health history, family history and previous results; there is no single panel that covers everyone. Useful topics include blood pressure, cholesterol, diabetes risk and appropriate cancer screening. Preventive care is part of MedFIT’s Primary Care, but not every screening is performed in the office or included in a visit fee. Next: Bring any screening dates or results you know and ask Valerie which next steps are most important for you.
