What's Included in an Annual Well Woman Exam?

Why is your Well Woman Exam so important?

With all of the responsibilities women have to deal with in their daily lives, well woman care can fall by the wayside. Unfortunately this often has negative consequences for a woman’s health, vitality and quality of life. A regular Well Woman Check can help preventing cervical cancer caused by HPV, protecting fertility, breast diseases and in some cases gestational diabetes. Women who prioritize well woman care are also less likely to develop sexually transmitted illnesses and experience unwanted pregnancy.

What is included in a Well Women Exam?

Breast Exam

The breasts are inspected for changes in shape, skin texture, nipple discharge and lumps. We’ll also discuss self-breast exam methods for you to work into your routine. Depending upon your age, a mammogram and a bone density test may be requested.

Pelvic Exam & Pap Smear

The vagina and labia are inspected for lesions and discharges. A speculum is placed in the vagina to evaluate the upper vagina and to perform a HPV test and the PAP smear. Cultures may be obtained for STD screening.

The uterus and ovaries are examined.

Contraceptive Counseling

A Well Woman Exam includes a discussion about birth control options with your provider.

We offer oral contraception, intrauterine devices, etonogestrel implants and certain surgical options if needed.

FAQs

What will my insurance cover?

Please check your insurance policy to make sure you are covered for yearly preventive exams, including a Pap smear and pelvic/breast exam. Different insurance policies have different rules for preventive care coverage. Most insurance companies allow for only one annual exam per 12-month period (and some will not pay for a visit even a few days before the year is up).

I have insurance but you sent me an invoice.

Standard fees for all Well Woman Exams are billed to all insurances, but what your insurance will cover is up to the health plan you signed up for.
