During this appointment, we review your laboratory history, personal and family medical histories, immunizations, and any new health concerns that may have arisen since your last visit. Scheduling a preventive visit is recommended every 12 months to stay proactive about your health. Routine preventive screenings include many examinations to ensure your health is on the right path.

FAQs
What is preventive medicine?
Preventive medicine focuses on maintaining health and avoiding illness through early detection, screenings, lifestyle guidance, and immunizations. At Nugen Medicine, we provide thorough evaluations and proactive care to help you prevent a disease before it starts.
What does a preventive medicine appointment at Nugen Medicine include?
Each visit includes a full head-to-toe physical exam, a review of your lab history, personal and family medical background, immunizations, and a discussion of any new or ongoing health concerns. We evaluate every detail of your health with care.
How often should I schedule a preventive visit?
We recommend a preventive care visit once every 12 months. Nugen Medicine helps you stay on track with your health goals by scheduling regular check-ins and sending reminders for your next visit.
Why is preventive care important even if I feel healthy?
Many health conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or certain cancers develop silently. Our preventive care helps detect these issues early when they’re easiest to treat or reverse.
What types of screenings are included in preventive services?
Depending on your age, gender, and health history, screenings may include blood pressure checks, cholesterol panels, blood glucose tests, cancer screenings, and more. We customize your screenings, so you only undergo ones that are relevant and effective.
Is preventive medicine covered by insurance?
Most insurance plans do cover annual preventive visits at no additional cost. Our staff can help verify your coverage and guide you through the process so you can focus on your health.
What’s the difference between preventive care and a regular doctor’s visit?
A regular visit typically addresses a current illness or symptom. Preventive care, on the other hand, focuses on avoiding future health problems through screening, early detection, and education. At Nugen Medicine, we prioritize both aspects for your whole-body wellness.
Will lab work be done during my preventive visit?
Yes. We’ll review existing labs and may order new ones depending on your needs. We use comprehensive lab testing to get a complete picture of your health and spot any early warning signs.
What if I have a chronic condition? Can I still benefit from preventive medicine?
Absolutely. Preventive care complements the management of chronic conditions by helping you monitor your health and reduce the risk of complications. We build integrated care plans that balance prevention and ongoing treatment.
What vaccinations are part of preventive care?
Vaccines may include flu shots, tetanus boosters, shingles, pneumonia, and other age-appropriate or condition-specific immunizations. We keep your vaccine schedule current to safeguard your health.
How is Nugen Medicine different from other clinics offering preventive services?
We take time to understand your whole health history before we administer anything. We offer personalized evaluations, in-depth testing, and a compassionate care team focused on keeping you healthy not just at the moment but for the long term.
Can preventive visits detect early signs of serious illness?
Yes. Preventive exams are designed to catch early indicators of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and more. With Nugen Medicine’s thorough and proactive approach, no detail is overlooked.
What should I bring to my preventive medicine appointment?
Bring a list of current medications, vaccination records, recent lab results (if available), and details of any family medical history. We will use this information to build a personalized prevention plan specifically made for you.
Can lifestyle counseling be part of my preventive visit?
Yes. During your visit, we can discuss nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress, and more. We offer actionable lifestyle guidance to help you make informed choices every day.
